Second Grade Three Sisters Garden

Second grade is doing a project based learned project based on a Three Sisters Garden. This type of garden, originally used by Native Americans, has three different types of plants that are all planted together strategically to help each other grow.

Mrs. Kelaher's class has planted squash, which has big leaves and provides shade for the roots of all of the plants. Mrs. Black's class has planted beans which provide extra nutrients for all of the plants in the soil. Mrs. McLeod's class has planted corn which provides a stalk for the beans to grow up.

Students are taking care of the garden as well as taking data on the plant's growth. We are excited to see how our plants work together in our garden!
