The Plant Whisperer

Andres does such a fantastic job caring for our class plant. When he is not pruning carefully he is keeping track of when it was last watered, spraying its leaves and making sure it's in a location with plenty of light. It will be wonderful to watch it grow throughout the year.

This brings to mind a few things:
- Would anyone be interested in taking our plant home and caring for the plant during recesses and long holidays? Please comment if you're interested.

- Notice the use of "its" and "it's" in the first paragraph above. "It" only gets an apostrophe S (you know, this --> 's ) when it is used as a contraction... the short way of writing "it is" or "it has".  When I use it to show possession, like "its leaves", it has no apostrophe.

- And back to plants, I hope you are all getting excited about visiting Brooklyn Grange Farm later in the month!
