| The Kroger Company donates the
sweet potatoes
for this program. The students root the sweet
potatoes using two methods, make predictions about how they
will grown then record and chart the actual results. They plant
the potatoes in the sweet potato patch the week following Mother's Day.
  In the fall, the now second graders, harvest the sweet
potatoes and share them with the school for their harvest parties.
This fall they are inviting, Kroger representatives to come to their
harvest party to share in the harvest from the sweet potatoes their
company donated. |
