Our Class's Beautiful Entree :0) and.... the Yummiest Ice Cream Social :0)

We had the most amazing time planting and landscaping our class's entry this past week :0). A parent in our class donated potted plants. I was able to really work very close with my students teaching hands-on experiences of digging out holes in the ground, taking the flowers out of the pot, planting them into the soil, and finally, watering them :0). We have built some memories and really have stories to tell :0). Enjoy!!!!!
