Our Spuds in Tubs kit arrived last week from BC Agriculture in the Classroom Foundation.

                Today we had our first look at the seed potatoes.

We noticed that some have sprouts growing already. They are not quite long
                                      enough to plant yet.

          We learned that these potatoes are now seeds to grow more.

                    We counted the potatoes into groups of 10.

We have 25 seed potatoes and we will plant them into 5 tubs.  We are going to share this project with two other classes in our school.  Then we can compare how they are growing and celebrate the harvest together.
