It’s an Orca tradition to harvest and eat carrots here at Orca! Rainbow carrots to be more precise! This is a delicious activity that the kids are really excited and inspired by. Yes we washed hands AND sanitized AND distanced when eating OUTSIDE (had to get that outta the way-we stayin’ safe here!). It is such a joy to see a kinder-gardener (!) pick the very first carrot of their entire lives. Never will they wonder where a carrot comes from, or think it comes from a store, or think it comes in tiny stubs in plastic prepackaged lunch sacks. No this is the real deal! Real crunch! Real joy! Some carrots were huge, others smaller, but “you get what you get and you don’t throw a fit!” Also don’t forget the number one rule in the garden- “don’t yuck my yum!” Well I cna safely say that no yums were yucked and most of EVERY class got to pick a carrot of they wanted. It was a bountiful harvest and an awesome continuation of this tradition.
