Today was the culmination of a few weeks of work. After growing our own Lion’s mane mushrooms in class we cleaned, chopped & cooked the mushrooms and served them over rice. The reactions were mostly positive with many wanting more. Regardless, a new experience for everyone! 🍄
The new fish tank is all set up and now we can move onto the next step. This step isn’t the cleanest but essential to being successful. We washed all of the dust and debris off of our clay pellets in preparation for what is to come. What could we be building next?
The plants in our Grow Tower are really taking off and the blossoms have started to bloom. Since the tower is indoors we can’t rely on pollinators to pollinate our plants. The Eco Team stepped in to help pollinate each blossom with a brush. Very artistic!🧑🎨🌼🌱
Today we harvested our hydroponic greens and sampled our sprouts. Comments ranged from “wow that’s good” to “not as bad as I thought” to “ummm…that’s gross Mr. O’Connor” Overall I’ll take that as a win! Looking forward to starting the next batch soon! #GoodThingsGrowing 🌱🌱🌱
This is a first! I’m always looking to try new things within the classroom and here we are. Trying our hand at growing mushrooms in the classroom. Looking forward to a harvest of pink oyster mushrooms in 2-3 weeks🤞🍄
Today was the final day of the @dsbn #TakeMeOutsideWeek Challenge! We miraculously avoided the majority of the rain to get outside for 1 hr of geocaching. Such a great way to finish off the week; 5 days & 5 hrs of learning outside! @takemeoutside @dsbnOutdoorED @htubman2015
Another day in the books of the @dsbn #TakeMeOutsideWeek Challenge! Today we spent an hour outside creating nature art and discussing the week so far. We’ve now spent over 3 hours outside learning and exploring with 2 days still to go @htubman2015 @takemeoutside
Yesterday we kicked off the @dsbn #TakeMeOutsideWeek Challenge! We headed outside for some team building activities; marble races, hula hoop pass & giant tic tac toe. Great to see so many other classes outside as well! @takemeoutside @EcoSchoolsCAN @dsbnOutdoorED @htubman2015
What a great day attending the @dsbn Eco Summit! The @htubman2015 Eco Club enjoyed a day at Heartland Forest full of team building, sunshine and lots of smiles. Excited to build off of today and start putting our @EcoSchoolsCAN plans into action 🌱
I thought today was take your aquarium to work day?!? I definitely got a few puzzled looks on my ride to school today bringing the new addition to class. Looking forward to getting the new fish tank up and running!
