Today we went to Fernwood Montessori to check out their Greenhouse operation and my gosh did we have a good time.  We got to interview the teacher involved, as well as some of the students that were working (it was eye opening for some of our students to be know that gardening takes so much time.  I wish I would have taken a photo of some of the kid’s faces when they got to look at the fish they keep there (it is an aquaponics system so there are hundreds of fish in the greenhouse fertilizing the plants).  To hear the conversations in the back of the car on the way back to school….wow!  “We should do it this way because…”, “if we could start over, we should plan it this way…,” and “wow, I never thought of it that way” were just some of the discussions I heard the kids saying to each other.  It is amazing how far they have come along.
