As John Andrew Holmes wisely said,
"Never tell a young person that something cannot be done. God may have been waiting
centuries for somebody ignorant enough of the impossible to do that thing."

Growing Avocados

Its planting time again! When trying to help children learn about responsibility, planting is a great concept. Many might be confused by that statement, but when planting, children are required to work hard to create the perfect environment for the plants to flourish, the plants need to be cared for and watered frequently and students need to be aware of the condition of the growing plant.


At HO4K we have germinated our own avocado seeds for 6 weeks in a wet paper towel inside a closed container. See our past post about how we germinated our avocado seeds here.
. We are now ready to put one seed in soil and one in water to grow plants. Students have researched and have learned that all living things need air,water, food and sunshine.
The more we work with plants, the more students realize that we have the same basic needs.
 We have worked together to create a nourishing environment for our seeds in hopes that they will grow strong and healthy just like us!
