Today I briefly introduced our year long foods of Colonial America project by talking about the Three Sisters Planting that Native Americans passed on to European settlers. This companion planting system allowed the beans to grow up the corn stalks and squash vines to spread over the ground blocking out weeds. All fourth grade classes will have the opportunity to participate. This year long project based learning will add to what we learn from our textbook and research lessons. Thanks to the Legakis and Hess families for taking the lead in making this happen.
