A Growing Plan
Drew, Emilio, and Michisat at a picnic table in the City Park in Oklahoma. They didn’t care about the sounds around them. They just focused on the task they had planned to complete.
They wanted to start a school garden at Jefferson Middle School. At first, it was Dew’s idea. Hefirst saw a school garden when he visited his cousin P. J. in Washington. He was surprised at the variety of fruits and vegetables the students at P. J.’ s school grew.
When Drew returned from his trip, he told his friends all about what he had seen. Now the three of them decided to make a plan to make Ms. Milano, the school headmaster (校长), believe that the garden was a good idea.
“We are going to need a teacher to guide us through the project, ” said Drew. “ I know that Mr. Hasselbach gardensat home. Just last week he brought in a whole basket of tomatoes from his garden. He might be happy to help.” Drew wrote down Mr. Hasselbach’s name in his notebook.
“We might need some money to get the project up and running,” added Michi. “We could tell Ms. Milano that we will organize a book sale to raise money.”
“That’s a great idea,” said Emilio. “ My aunt is a co-owner of a nursery (苗圃). She can help us design the garden, select plants, and create a budget (预算).”
Drew nodded and made some more notes. “If we havea garden, think of all the lessons
we’ve learnt. We’ll have to measure and weigh things. We can practice what we learn in the science lessons. There is no way that Ms. Milano could refuse us!”
Michi and Emilio smiled. “If everything goes as planned, we’llbe digging in the dirt very soon!”
