CitySprouts Update
By Greg Beach, School Garden Coordinator
This fall, 2nd grade students at the Haggerty got their hands dirty to help our garden grow. Compost is really healthy soil that is created from the decomposition of plants and food scraps.
We have two compost bins at the Haggerty to build healthy soil, so that we can grow healthy plants. Students in Ms. Hassett's and Ms. Callender's classes created compost bins in their own classrooms, practiced their multiplication skills by balancing nitrogen and carbon in compost, and used their muscles to turn and harvest compost in our garden.
Thanks to their hard work, our spring vegetables will have rich soil in which to grow.
4th Grade Plants Tulips with World
Both of our 4th grade classrooms went into the garden with Science Volunteer, Deyne Meadow, for their annual planting of the Red Emperor Tulips. (see photo above). It is a curriculum through Journey North, where kids across the world plant tulips at the same time and then track and record their blooming progress across the globe.

Library Corner
By Sarah Novogrodsky, Library Media Specialist
On Monday, November 9th, author Gloria M. Gavris came to visit the 2nd, 4th and 5th grades to talk about her new book "E is for Election." Ms. Gavris grew up in Everett, MA, in a political and civic-serving family. She used her love of politics and government to write her book and to teach children more about the elections and campaigns. It was great timing-- right after our local elections. Students were engaged and full of information to share! Thanks so much for Ms. Gavris for visiting us - just because she wanted to share her book! Her book is in the library for students to take out. Here is the link for more information:
