Making a scarecrow!


                                                                        The extended Indian summer allowed is to do so many garden activities.  Last week we made a scarecrow to decorate the back porch of our school. Surrounding him are the cornstalks from our garden.  We read a story about how Native American children’s job in the late summer was to scare the crows away from their most important crop, corn.  This was a hot and boring job, so a story about the first scarecrow was imagined by a contemporary author in the manner of a legend.


                                               We dried three quart jars of herbs.
