Week Two of Farm to School Month

During the 2nd week of Marquez Charter's celebration of Farm to School Month we had a visiting farmer, Natasha Mmonatau, from 1 Gun Ranch in Malibu who spoke to Ms. Yoshida's class and Ms. Gardner's class. We also had two visiting chefs: Chef Sam Minin from the new Italian restaurant in the Palisades, Tratto, and another chef, Doug Silberberg, a parent at the school.  In addition, several classes planted in their class garden beds!

These classes planted in their beds: Ms. Yoshida's 2nd graders, Ms. Bazan's kindergarteners and Ms. Hain's kindergarteners. Ms. Yoshida's students planted tennis ball lettuce, purple radishes and purple carrots.  The seeds were donated by Seed Savers Exchange. Ms. Bazan's and Ms. Hain's students planted sensory gardens with lemon verbena, scented geraniums, lambs' ear and white sage.
