Harvest Time Parent Letter
Dear Parents,
I wrote to you in June to get you started on your child’s first homework assignment. I know many of you planted a vegetable plant and nurtured it over the summer. I have heard many stories, some of success and some a little disappointing. It’s time to harvest the vegetables for our special project. If you have a vegetable ready for picking, please allow your child to pick it and wash it and bring it to school by _______________. If you do not have a vegetable from your own garden, ask whether a friend or relative can share or purchase a vegetable at the farmers’ market or grocery store.
Over the next several days, we will be preserving our home-grown vegetables to be used in a dried soup mix. When we have assembled our soup mixes, we will be sharing the soup with ________________.
In addition, please save two wide-mouth quart jars. I will be asking you to bring that in later.
Once again, thanks for your help!
Sincerely,
