First Graders Visit the Sierra Agroecology Center (Grow Dome)

The 1st Grade Crew made it to a very special place, the Sierra Agroecology Center in Truckee. Here we learned about plants, vegetables, different ways foods can grow, the process from seeds to flower to fruit, and about all the special helpers like bugs and insects who help the process along.

Each child was wide eyed at this magical land that we stepped into. Getting to touch and play and feel everything was quite the treat.

We will be back at the very next chance we get as we continue to learn about where our food comes from. Next on our list is Mounty Bounty Farms! Enjoy these cute photos from our trip.
