Huntington+School

=Welcome to the Huntington School garden page.= ==Garden Visi t Students in Mrs. Jacobs's 5th Grade class visited the Norwich Greens Community Garden at Moriarty School on April 3, 2009. Students from Mrs. Davis's English Language Learners class (ELL) were our very gracious and informative hosts for the short time we were together. One group of students learned how to make mini-greenhouses out of repurposed milk cartons and plastic bags. These students will teach the remainder of the class how to create mini-greenhouses when we plant our seeds next week back in our classroom. Another group of students learned how to use the soil blocker to prepare the soil for planting while another group listened to ELL students read __The Tiny Seed__ by Eric Carle. Before we left Moriarty, we were given three types of seeds to begin growing in our classroom that we will later plant at the Norwich Greens: spinach, basil, and cucumbers. ==
