Marra Farm

Marra Farm is an urban farm located in south Seattle.  Our whole school went yesterday morning in the rain.

                          

We all met up under a shelter.

Sylas and I goofed around with his hat.

We learned that Marra Farm grows food for poor people and it provides land for others to grow their own vegetables.

We all got to harvest a carrot.  Mine is in the lower left corner.

I had to clean my carrot before I could eat it.

It was really wrinkly and I had a hard time getting the dirt off.  I ended up not eating my carrot.  Mom did

Mom saw this cool house at the edge of the farm.

I really liked the chicken.  I got to pet it and it laid an egg.

I was ready to go after the chickens.  It kept raining, and I was done.

Here is my good friend Andy.  We left soon after this photo back to school.

Montague Farm comes to the Bridge School

Mom's friend, Vicki Eberhart, owner of Montague Farm came to visit the Bridge School today.  Vicki is a fiber farmer, that raises angora rabbits and sheep to make awesome yarn. Her farm is located in NE Washington State in the Okanagan Mountain Range. Her yarns are known as Bunny Gold.

 It was really exciting that Vicki brought a mother angora rabbit (Alexis) and her baby (Silky).

Vicki held Alexis, and demonstrated hand cutting her fur and also using an electric clipper.

Angora fur and roving was passed around in the basket, it was very soft.

Vicki, also spun some yarn on an electric spinner.

There's the baby-Silky!  SO CUTE!!!!

At the end of her presentation, she let me, and all of the other children pet Alexis.  It was fun!

I recently read another story that I wrote at school. My stories always have a lot of action. This one is about a knight.

Bridge School Student Showcase 2013

My class has been studying forests for the last 8 weeks.  We had a student showcase on Thursday so parents could see what we have been working on.  I am wearing the grey and white stripped shirt.  This is a little long so you are probably my grandmother if you watch the whole thing,,,,,,
