This snap shot was taken as I handed out the new tree seedlings!

Thor's 6th Birthday

I decided to measure Thor to check how big is he is getting. He is 59 cm high and 59 cm wide! 

Thor, I calculated, is 6 years old! 

Our class begins with seedlings again!

We are in the computer lab and eagerly awaiting our new seedlings.
We are having trouble logging and we are having trouble getting our blogs started.
We discovered that to use BlogSpot that we have to log into goggle first and then start our blogs.


They arrived! I am excited to announce that this year's seedlings are "Blue Spruce".
The Latin name is Picea Pungens!
In Latin it means Latin "pix" (pitch-producing) from Greek "pissa" (pitch) / sharp (leaves) - Latin "pungere" (to prick).
I guess that means a tree that produces pitch and has sharp needles.
