Week 8 - Growing for Tomorrow

Another great week in the books! We accomplished a lot of cool things this week! Now that I have a full load of courses, I am starting to see how many moving parts there really are. It can quickly be overwhelming. I feel like all that I am ever doing is planning. Planning for tomorrow, the rest of the week and even next week. It adds up quick and can prove to be challenging trying to stay ahead of it.

In Ag Science, we learned about the United Nations Sustainable Develepolement Goals and how they relate to us. Then we created word clouds that showcased which goals were most important to us as a class. Then, we went through each goal, looked at them from a local scale to a national scale to a global scale. This was really cool to see the students have the same beliefs and interests. Really being able to see that common interest of food security and being able to connect that back to the unit.

Ag 2, we were talking about pesticide residues and looked at how they can quickly and easily be transferred without being noticed. Talked about the importance of pesticide labels and how important it can be to read them so that when residue and transfer accidents happen, the right procedures can be taken. I shook every student's hand as they walked into the classroom. Little did they know that there was a glow in the dark powder on my hands! 

In Ag 3/4, we have been talking about greenhouses and plant propagation! We were able to propagate a wandering jew! We are experimenting with how long it will take for root development! Comparing soil to water propagation!
