Thursday April the 24th was the last day of teaching for Alisha and I at Columbia Heights Middle School. The students were formed into groups of 4 and given a half tray of the microgreens. They used scissors to harvest the microgreens and washed the plants in the sink. Alisha and I demonstrated at the beginning of class how to harvest and eat them afterwards with crackers and cheese. As I was walking around the class, I assisted students who needed help cutting the microgreens. After the students washed the dirt off the plants, I asked them to taste and see if they notice a difference between the peas and sunflower plants. Most of the students liked the peas more than sunflowers and they thought it was weird that the sunflower seed shell was still on the plants. The students definitely loved eating the microgreens more when they were on crackers and cheese than by itself. The students were very rowdy due to testing, but had some good questions about plants at the end of class. They asked if plants can die from too much watering and if plants can grow if the temperature was too cold. They asked us if we were coming back and if we liked them, I said of course we like you! So far the students were sarcastically funny and fun to work with in class.
