This week in the El Morro school garden, the students finished painting their bird houses. We filled them with birdseed and the kids got to take them home to welcome birds to their own yard. We also kept a couple to decorate our garden.
The students also planted a "sensory garden" in one of the beds. This is to encourage them to use all of their senses while exploring the garden. The sensory garden includes:
- Sight: Bird house, pinwheel, decorative butterfly
- Smell/Taste: Plenty of aromatic edible herbs -- rosemary, thyme, mint, oregano, cilantro, lemon balm, basil, and tarragon.
- Touch: Lamb's ear
- Sound: Windchimes (coming soon)
We also attached garden tiles, that were painted during Funday Monday, to the boxes. And we left time to just have fun blowing bubbles in the garden!
