As a tradition in welcoming the Chinese New Year, the 28th day of the 12th lunar month in the Chinese calendar is dedicated to housecleaning. The idea is to get rid of old, unwanted things, and welcome the New Year with blessings and good luck. In the Infant Community, we make sure that we do all our housecleaning before the Chinese New Year. </div>

Outstanding weather for our first trip to the farm in for the </h3>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">
2017-2018 school year!</h3>
<div>
Last week, the EK/HS program enjoyed four days of hard work at Green Oaks Creek Farm in Pescadero. Harvest season is in full swing, so we were able to enjoy the fruits of the fields with our planned meals, harvesting, preparing and cooking produce like zucchini, lettuce, tomatoes, squash and other bounty. We worked hard helping to harvest fall produce, but also helped get the farm ready for the fall growing season by weeding and planting winter crops like collard greens, kale, cauliflower, and broccoli. A fabulous week working close to nature and enjoying the outdoors!</div>

They were very big! There was only one thing to do: plan a pickle-making day!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The first step was to wash and slice all of the cucumbers we could pick. We went to the garden twice to get more cucumbers, and then once more to cut some fresh chives from the herb bed to put in the pickling jar.<br />

The pickling spices smell so good! What is this piece?<br />

With the cucumbers, chives, and spices added, all that remained was to add a little sugar, salt, and vinegar. The jar will sit out on our counter today, then go in the refrigerator for one week. Then our pickles will be ready to eat!<br />
