Landscapes: Red, White and Blue Potatoes |
1st –2nd
Grade: Red, White and Blue Potato Garden
As first graders the
students review the parts of a plant and what a
plant needs to grow. Each student receives a
Potato Journal to record their findings as they
describe, weigh, and plant a potato in the
school garden. In the fall as second graders
they students meet in the outdoor classroom with
Learning Landscapes staff where they harvest the
potatoes they planted in the spring. Students
peal and slice the potatoes then take them to
the kitchen to cook. The students then measure,
mix ingredients and mash the potatoes. They then
eat their creation.
