Getting our hands dirty - planting
Yesterday we had another day of “Indian summer” with 21 degrees Celsius and Sun. We gathered the “green team” and went outside, in front of the school. Nice lady from school stuff was a big help and advisor in planting the bulbs. On Friday we received 100 bulbs from HET Ireland. The first thing that we had to do was preparing the compost. Some earthworms joined our party so we are pretty sure that the compost is very good for planting flowers. We hope that the job was nicely done and just for the fun we put our hands on the plated bulbs to transfer our good energy.

I think it is wonderful that such effort is being made to help children understand the tragedy of the Holocaust. It was hard for me to believe all this happened when I first learned about it in World History. A classmate brought photos that his grandfather was able to take of piles of bodies. That helped me to grasp the horror. I think you should also have a link to the Paper Clips project by a group of students from a small town in Tennessee. A DVD documentary was made and is very powerful.
