Garden Clean up

For the Eslp project i picked garden clean up. I pulled out weeds around that were around some plants. I also pulled weeds out where the x wing is so that it could later look nice and clean.

Dylan Wagner Garden Cleanup

For the garden cleanup ESLP project, I went for 75 minutes on one day, and 45 minutes the next. I weeded and spread mulch out by the bathrooms. On the second day, I spread mulch out in two of the square plant pods near the table of the elements in the ground. I made the school look nicer, neater, and cleaner. I have pictures from the first day of weeding that I did with Danil, Gabby, and Ana.

Yordi's seed story

1)What have you learned?

I have learned the life stages of what a plant goes through and how they become a new seed through photosynthesis.

2)What surprised or amazed you?
What surprised me was how my plant hasn't died yet.

3)What made you laugh?
Nothing really.

4)What made you pause and think deeper?
How fast the seed grew in such a small time with just water and little sun light.

In my classmates experience of the assignment the story of a seed project Yordi mostly knew the process of what was going to happen but he was amazed to see how fast the plant grew without sun light and he also learn and understood how a plant becomes a seed again and the parts of photosynthesis and he was also surprised when he found out his plant wasn't dead.Also nothing really made him laugh.

Mateo De La Cruz Garden Clean up #2

For my project I did garden clean up. I helped out for 2 hours, I worked 1 hour for 2 days. I helped by cleaning up leaves from the parking lot and putting them in a certain area. I also swept mulch off of the walkways and into where it is supposed to be. I also evened out the compost piles and cleaned them up.

Subhan Khan Garden Clean Up #2

For my project I chose garden clean up. I did it for 1 hour for 2 days. I stayed for 2 hours total. The first day, I pulled out the weeds. Now it's clean and there are no more weeds. For the second day I put soil on the trees. Now there is soil.Now the garden is clean.

Maya Lewis Garden Clean-up

For my science ESLP project, I did garden cleanup. I learned how to weed, and how each plant plays a very valuable role in the environment. I did garden clean up for an hour on November 29th and December 1st. I weeded, cut grass around TSOTS plants, spread mulch, and took out grass around the fence area. This helps the school and the environment because more plants will thrive. Spreading mulch helps soil around the plants, thus helping the plants grow. I learned a lot more than expected.

Abel Spackman Garden Clean-Up

For my second ESLP project, I did garden clean-up for one hour on November 29 and one hour on December 1st. On November 29, I cut grass around the TSOTS plants and pulled out weeds. That helps the program because it allows the plants to better grow and thrive. On December 1st, I cut more grass, pulled more weeds, took out grass near the fence, and spread mulch. This helps the program because more plants will thrive and because of the mulch spread behind the X-Wing, the soil is richer and will allow plants to grow there in the future. I ended up learning a lot more than I expected from helping with the garden-clean-up

Sam Albert Garden Clean Up

I worked in the garden for my second ESLP. We worked November 29 for one hour and December 1 for one hour. We did the same work for both of the days. We cut grass and pulled weeds around the Story of the Seed plants, and were careful to not pull any of them up. Overall, we weeded by the fence, around two or three of the garden beds, and on the outside of the beds. This benefits the plants by giving them less competition for space and resources, and allowing them to grow more. It also makes the garden look nicer.

Katarina Myers Garden Cleanup

For my second ESLP project, I did garden cleanup on November 29th and 30th for 50 minutes on the 29th and 70 minutes on the 30th. On the 29th, we weeded and cut grass around our story of the seed plants. This helps the garden program by allowing plants to have less competition when they’re growing. On the 30th, we weeded and spread mulch around the plants behind the X wing. This also eliminates competition and helps to make the soil richer in nutrients so that we can plant more on that plot later. I learned a lot from this experience of helping to clean up and maintain the garden.

Garden Cleanup Nick Fordyce

For my second ESLP I chose to do garden cleanup. I chose this because I wanted to clean up the garden to make it better and I felt it would be fun. I did garden cleanup on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. On Tuesday I only did 30 minutes because I had to leave early, but on that day I picked weeds out of the sides of the garden for the whole time. On Wednesday, I was there for 1 hour and did most of the same thing. I picked weeds and took a variety of tings to the compost. On Thursday, I did another 30 minutes to wrap up my time and this time I did something different. I took the mulch to a garden by the Mickey Long Center. I feel I learned a lot about gardening from this project and about gardens.

ELSP project Garden Clean Up

Garden Clean Up

              For my 2nd round of the ELSP project I did the Garden Clean Up again. Garden Clean up is when we clean up the garden we have in the Z-wing of the high school and we have a chicken coop and garden beds which have growing plants for the story of the seed project that we are doing in Mr. Bursch's class. We have to clean up the garden for 2 hours so what I did was pick up mulch from the parking lot for about 45 minutes and distributed the mulch around the school like the around the palm tree in the Q-wing and in the little trees in the X-wing. Distributing the mulch took around 25 minutes. Then we moved a bit of compost around so it would pile up nicely which took like 10 minutes. Then for the rest of m time I shoveled up fallen leaves from trees and made a compost for it which took the rest of my 2 hours.

Biosite blogpost#1

In bio-site how we prepared for it by going in everyday for tutorial and trying the different labs that we would conduct with the kids such as the bean lab and the time line of compost and for the last couple of times we made or group that was me,Emilliano and Elizabeth we prepared by seeing what was in our backpack and we got the time line lab and the FBI lab and how we prepared was by running the labs and estimating how much time it would take on average around 17 minutes and we got 20 minutes so we had 3 extra so that would give us time to ask them if they had any questions and it would also make time for us to know them better or what they like to do.

Garden Cleanup Ian Gill

On the two days I worked an hour each, I shoveled mulch into wheelbarrows and delivered it to three plant beds. I put mulch in the two small beds between the W and X wings and the bed between the X and Y wings. Th mulch I put in the beds will help the plant grow better and stronger. It will keep water in. keep out weeds, and keep the soil cool.

Biosite

My name is David and today I am going to be talking about my experiences with doing Bio-site first of all teaching fourth graders was the best because it was fun and the cool part was that we got to miss fourth period but the first time we did this we failed badly at teaching the fourth graders were getting crazy and they getting distracted not paying attention. The second time it was also kind of a failure but then we kind of new what we were gonna say then the third time it was a bit better. Then the next time we did bio-site it was really easy because we actually new what we doing. The first group was easy the next group was a breeze then the last one was a piece of cake so defiantly the second time we did bio site was very easy and we didn't have any trouble doing it so would I do this again defiantly all in all this activity was really fun

Garden Cleanup Fall project 2

For my second Ecology Service Learning Project, I decided to do garden cleanup again. For the first day I only did about 30 minutes for the first day. I helped with the compost area, for the first few minutes. Then, after that I helped cleaning up in the parking lot, in the middle of the parking lot. I took out one of the visible weeds in the mulch there. This helps create space for other plants to grow in the mulch. For the next day I did 1 hour and 10 minutes, and I cleaned the chicken excrement from the chicken coop. This overall helped with the smell of the chicken coop. Also, I helped in adding more of the weeds and some of the chicken excrement in the compost pile. This helps add more waste for the worms to make into soil in the compost area. Then, for my last day, I did only 20 minutes of work. I helped out with 2 others near the middle school side to find and dig out the boundaries of the grass near the Mickey Long Center. All this does is make the grass look a bit cleaner than before. It makes it look very clean without all the grass going over the border of the area.

ESLP Garden Cleanup Project Report: Ana Montero

     Hi, my name is Ana Montero. I am in 6th period Biology and this is my ESLP Garden Cleanup Report. I decided to do Garden Cleanup because last time it was very fun and didn't take much creativity. It also did something for the school that didn't require me to get insanely dirty or ask for special permissions. I decided to split my time between two days with one hour intervals.
    Day one of the project I moved bricks and picked up trash. The moving of the bricks was very hard as I am not very strong and had to lift the bricks and drop them over the fence. After I was able to get all the bricks out I had to load them up and move them over toward the compost piles. Man did it hurt! I loaded up the bricks into an already heavy wheelbarrow and pushed it over toward the compost piles. Once they were over there I carefully stacked them up and went along to picking up trash. The trash was very small and very hard to see, so it took a while to get going but once I got into a rhythm I was able to make it go by really quickly. All in all day one was very successful.
     Day two of the project I helped a group pull out weeds. It was very long tiring work but we made it go by very quickly. The weeds came out very easy if you got under the root so two people pulled the weeds and handed them to the others who plopped them in bins and carried them over. After the weeds were gone we got some people to bring over mulch to fill the newly de-weeded patch. We then spread out the mulch and after it was all done we were finished. Day two? Success!

Trash

Bricks all neatly stacked

Today me Adam and osmar picked up bark and spread it throw out the whole chicken area. It was kindda hard getting bark and spreading it but it was fun. I finished my 2 hours of garden clean up. I. Also finished my 2 blog spots for the 2 hours I did.

           

What I did today was pretty interesting, i was scooping poop on the chicken coop and i was just cleaning around there coop. And after that i was picking up trash from the garden and then we were done for today for an hour and then we pick up all the equipment that we use.Then we came back the next day to finish our other hour that we needed to finish garden clean up,and then we puts some gloves and started seeing what we can work on.Then we saw that we needed to put tan bark and dirt around the free run chicken coop, and then me and my friend Adam and Aron got some gloves and buckets and then we walk to the parking lot a scoop some tan bark and dirt and we filled them up and that what we did back and forwards. After that we all headed back to the chicken coop and we started to spread the molch everywhere because the old molch was already old so we put new ones on. So in conclusion this project was a success and it was helpful to the garden because we cleaned the garden so it could be nice and clean. 

  

                                                       

So today for my garden clean up project my friend and Osmar did the chicken coop. What we did for the project was cleaned the chicken coop by scooping up some chicken poop. After that i just cleaning around the garden and found some pieces of trash and found the tool equipment so i just started to put everything back where it belonged. Then after that me and osmar went to the parking lot and we started digging the tan bark mixed with the dirt mixed in and we started loading them in a wheel barrow then whoever had the wheel barrow went next to the shed where the chickens were and we helped them unload the stuff out and started to pack it in to mix it with the other stuff that was there. Then the next day we came Mr. Bursch assigned me and Osmar and Aron a job the consisted with the chickens and we scooped the dirt into little buckets then we got the buckets again and started dumping them out in the chicken coop because all the other dirt and stuff was getting old so we put the new molch. Then after that Osmar, Aron and I cleaned up the tools and put them back. Overall this was a fun project because it benefited the garden because we cleaned it up to make it nice and clean.
