The kids planted Resurrection Gardens this week. I got the idea from another homeschooler's blog: just a little replica of that garden far away in Jerusalem, a reminder of that tomb- site of unspeakable miracle.
We bought seedlings from a local garden center, then went for a long nature walk to find rocks to be the tombs in their gardens. (In the course of the day, they dug for worms, captured a toad, and brought home some tadpoles. Not a bad science day!)
We intend to paint the rocks to look a bit more like tombs. Hopefully we'll get that done this weekend and I'll post another picture. I have a feeling this is a project that will be back by popular demand. :)
Love the idea! Can't wait to try it. My resurrection gardens this year were flop, but there is always next year! : )
ReplyDeleteWe did a ressurection garden this year too. It was a fun to make and the girls really liked having the visual to learn from.
