Mr. Hotakainen's first graders visited the warm and wonderful school greenhouse today to plant Mother's Day flowers.
Granny Green aka Kathy Connell gave the first-graders a quick overview of what's growing in the greenhouse and to answer questions, then it was time to dig in the dirt!
The students enjoyed the warmth of the greenhouse too, which was at 82 balmy degrees today. Some even complained, "It's too hot!"
Before they left to walk back to the elementary, they bundled up, but were delighted in a being able to experience "spring" in the school greenhouse and plant flowers for their moms.
Mr. Hotakainen's class will return to the greenhouse later this spring to take home their Mother's Day flowers.
More than 400 elementary students will be making the trek to the school greenhouse to plant Mother's Day flowers this week. Granny Green and her high school students will be very busy!
