Winter is starting to feel really L.O.N.G. around here. We decided encourage spring thoughts and add a little bit of fresh and green to our table. I had been reading in these two books how this quick, easy and yummy little project is a great thing to do with kids. I have to agree. My 5yo thought it seemed like magic! We purchased seeds at a local food co-op but they came from Johnny Seed Catalog. We didn't buy a special container or lid, but just used leftover cheesecloth that came with our cheese making supplies and a mason jar. These homegrown alfalfa sprouts are tastier & more crisp than store-bought. We began sprouting them on Thursday morning and had our first taste by Monday. Yum! "...the function of education is to put the child in the way of relations proper to him, and to offer the inspiring idea which commonly initiates a relation."

I Participate"In this field small efforts are honoured with great rewards, and we perceive that
the education we are giving exceeds all that we intended or imagined.”
