Book Department Goes To The Book Fair

Since the garden department was spending money on plants we decided that we would spend on books. The library is having a book fair. So we took advantage of that. We counted and then, went to check out the books. We saw the librarian and asked what would be some good books to buy. She gave us some recommendations. We bought 5 books that seemed most interesting.

We are going to buy a book called Wonder from Jessie when he is finished reading it. He going to sell it to us for $5.00. Jessie does not know how to make money. He originally bought the book for $16.99.

Here is our list: Auggie & Me, Wish, Ninth Ward, A Night Divided, and Dirt. We got five different books. We have five groups in the class, and are going to give one book to each group to start with. We hope that our classmates will like these books and enjoy reading them as well.

These are all the books we bought.

                                     

                                       

This is the receipt.

                                                       

This is when we were paying for the books.

Wow a Big Beautiful Flower

Our LC. "Miss Wonderful" From Fred Clarke at SVO finally opened.  We have been waiting for it to open for a while. On Friday we stayed at school for a long time to see if it would open. Our teacher cheated a little and blew on the petals. One side opened and we saw the color. We stayed a little while longer and were able to see more of the color. We sent an e-mail to Fred to show him our little plant. It got too late and we had to leave school. A sad that we could not see all of it. But the 7 of us that stayed late each day with our teacher to do a special garden class, she calls us MASTER GARDENERS, got a preview. This morning we all got to see just how wonderful Fred CLARKE is.

Now we know how she got her name. She is a cross of Blc. Mari's Song 'CTM217' x L. anceps 'Ultimo'.


This is the picture from Friday evening.

This is Monday morning

Day of the Dead Art Work

We went to art class this semester with Ms A. She was a great teacher and we learned a lot. Our favorite piece was for the Day of the Dead. These are the painting we did on canvas. We had an art show at school for Hispanic Heritage and everything was in gallery style. We got to walk around the whole school to see all the other art pieces. It was fun.

Moving To A New Home

Yes, what wonderful news! On November 1'st, my mom and step dad gave me really good news. The news that I got was that we are moving to a new house! The house has 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a living room, and a kitchen.  

It also has a small front space that has a lemon/orange tree and a mango tree that is very sick. The only thing that I do not like about the house is that the lady who used to live there had 30 cats! So the odor still stayed in the house and the cats still think that it is a hang out. We will have to work on getting them to stop coming to our house.

 My room has been painted purple by my stepdad. Of course I did not choose the color because I hate purple. My mom told my baby sister to choose the color,'' like a one year olds already knows their colors'', so she chose purple.

My mom felt bad, so she gave me an opportunity to get the left over space outside, and turn it into my own special garden. I hope that I can convince my neighbors from my apartment to give me some of their plants, or our soon to be neighbors to give me some of their Aeoniums. I can also get some plants from school and from my teacher.

Everything is perfect, even though this house does not have all of my expected choices, but maybe in the future I can add some of my own ideas.

This is my new house.

Garden department bought more plants

This morning, our teacher brought some plants to school. The garden department made a decision to buy some of the plants that came in. We got our money out and were able to buy some plants for the garden. We are really happy because now we can propagate some of the plants and sell them to the students in the Horticulture to make more money.  We invested $43.67.  These are the plants we were able to buy :

• 2 Hoyas carnosa with red spots each for 3.75
• Echeveria cetosa 4.99
• Cotyledon  orbiculata lady smith 4.99
• 2 Tradescantia Moses in a cradle each for 3.95
• Geranium Greengold Kleiner Liebling 2.75
• Nepthytis 1.25
• Tradescantia with pink stripe 4.99
• Echeveria  NOID 5.98

We plan to make a lot of money when we grow our new plants. We picked these plants because they will be easy to propagate and easy for people to grow on their own.

Plants that we bought

Our Garden

I would like to show you my garden that me and my grandma grew so far. We started when I was 5. Our garden is more beautiful than before and it just keeps growing. The garden had changed more than I thought because it stared out as seeds and now we have plants. Here are some pictures of the garden now, sorry but I don't have the pictures of our garden before.                                                                       

This my grandmas  lovely plant.





Some succulents

This is our garden that we have so far and it looks nice.
