A few weeks ago, we ventured out into Little Portugal to find some plants for our space. The whole idea started after Leah and I had talked about it, then I had mentioned it to one of the kids. He thought it would be a great idea, and could be part of their classroom responsibilities to care for. At the end of the year, he suggested that each child could take a plant home. I LOVED the idea. After much looking, we finally found a few plants we thought would be ideal. Kindly, one of the parents donated some pots to our group so we could paint them and finally bring the plants inside as they have been weathering the cold and rain! The kids worked hard to paint their pots, mixing colours, trying different designes and techniques and came out with finished products I know they are all very proud of. We will be potting the plants very soon, and I am sure we will all have fun getting our hands dirty.
