Harvesting Radishes
Ms. Mehring's Kindergarten, Ms. Weinstock's 1st grade and Ms. Mock's Life Skills classes from Juan Cabrillo Elementary School in Malibu, CA harvested radishes at The Cornucopia Foundation's Environmental Learning Center this past week. Students planted radish seeds in late February while learning about root vegetables.
In addition to pulling up their radish roots, students helped in making a raw radish salad. Initially, many students were skeptical to try the salad, but once they had a taste they couldn't get enough, asking for seconds, thirds and fourths.
Juan Cabrillo students have also planted carrot (2nd grade) and beet (3rd grade) root vegetables in the ELC garden, students are anticipating the harvest of the crops in May.
