Aloha Room 28 `Ohana!
Thanks to Mr. Sanchez (Mrs. Cornwell's father), who kindly donated our white-kalo and sweet potato (Purpli, Moloka`i, and Okinawan) stems, we were able to plant them into our garden. Interestingly enough, this was the very first time for some students to be digging in the soil and planting something! We lined up in our 4th grade plot and we planted either kalo or sweet potato. There were marked areas where each student dug their hole for their sweet potato stem or huli (kalo's stem). Mahalo to Mrs. Cornwell for coming out to help us that afternoon, and Mahalo to Mrs. Evans who came to help on Thursday, with room 27.
All in all, the planting was a success.....no insect bites, no cuts, no scrapes, no planting woes! Justs a feeling of satisfaction after looking at the freshly planted garden! Here are some pictures of that day.

Before entering the garden to work, we need to
say our oli (chant) "E Ho Mai." |

Dig at least 4 inches deep, plant the stem or
huli, and cover with soil |

How exciting it will be to watch our kalo
grow tall and thrive! |

Here is the Sweet-potato planters! There are
3 different kinds of potatoes. |
 |
Do you know which type you have? Is it the
Moloka`i, Purpli, or Okinawan sweet potato? |
