Fifth grade students recently spent the week at Live Power Farm in Covelo. This trip is normally 
taken in third grade, but COVID pushed it out by a year and they ended up taking this much awaited trip in fifth grade. The children saw and experienced the farm as a living organism, saw the thriving ecosystem with plants, animals, and humans interacting harmoniously. Apart from doing daily chores on the farm, the class listened with rapt attention to farmer Stephan as he talked about cultivating native plants to farm grown vegetables. The children got a taste of the native varieties of spinach 
and turnips and a great introduction to fifth grade botany!
