For the past month or so we've studied the traditional lives of the Kumeyaay Indians who are the original native people of San Diego county. Using what they learned in this unit, students created wonderful, beautifully detailed collages that depict life in a traditional village. They also created an online resource all about the Kumeyaay's traditional lifestyle and traditions.
A few months ago we planted a winter/spring crop in the Three Sisters Garden. Today we visited the garden and harvested carrots, onions, and strawberries. The strawberries are from an adjacent bed that was actually planted last year. What a crop! Everything is huge, juicy, and smelling delicious...and even a little peculiar. Check out the pictures. Tomorrow we will eat strawberries and cream as a special treat. Do you have any ideas what we can do with the onions? | About Us
