Can You Dig It?

Today we helped out in the garden, and harvested potatoes for the food bank. 












We learned how to dig from the side.











 Then we really got our fingers in the dirt!
 Kids dug...
 teachers, too...
we really wanted to fill those baskets!













It's a good thing some of the potatoes were so big!

 

We worked together to find as many of the potatoes as we could. 


 


Wow, we sure dug a lot of potatoes!

Teamwork brings home the wheelbarrow.


What a great way to prepare for our future community service at the Food Bank later on in the year!  I was impressed with how hard the kids worked and how enthusiastically they searched for the potatoes in the dirt.  

We did experience a bit of unwanted excitement when some kids found a wasp nest, yikes!  Fortunately, despite a few scary stings, most of the children managed to avoid the wasps.  Those who were stung were taken care of quickly, phew!  Thanks to everyone who helped out with digging AND with the wasps!
