Regrow food from scraps

Celery growth after 3 weeks

There is a neat trick that you can do with celery, you can Regrow it. This is a great project for kids too. It can teach them just how amazing nature is; it perseveres and never gives up.
Here are the easy steps.

1. Buy a whole celery stalk, with the root bottom still intact. Cut the bottom off leaving 2 inches of stalk attached.

2. Place the bottom in a bowl of water. Don't completely cover the stalk.

3. Place in a sunny spot and wait approx a week. You will begin to see the middle of the stalk sprout.

4. When your stalk is well established, you can either plant it in a pot indoors or you can start it outside once the danger of frost has passed.

You can keep your own supply of celery growing all year.

 

** You can also do this with romaine, pineapple, and lettuce

 

Song to get little one's excited about character building

A character coach in MD came up with this song and it really is a great way to get kids excited about character education.

The tune is to Disney's song "Zippity Doo Dah"

Zippity Doo Dah, Zippity Ay;
My oh my, I'm a winner today
Plenty of Good things heading my way
Zippity Doo Dah, Zippity Ay.
Good character makes you a winner;
Keep your head up,
You won't fall,
Do what's right and you'll stand tall.
Zippity Doo Dah, Zippity Ay
It feels good to be a winner today!
