The Bridgers have been busy these past two weeks - taking care of our growing chickens, planting seeds, and working on unique gourd crafts!
 | |||
| Of our 13 chickens, 7 were baby roosters who had to go back to live on the farm. The 6 hens are enjoying all the new extra space and the first hen has been named - Shadow. |

Gourd Project
 |
| The first step was to clean the gourds by scrubbing them to remove dirt and mold. |
 |
| Some students removed the seeds which had either dried in a big clump or broken up into smaller chunks and dust. |
 |
| William looks at a magazine to get ideas for his project. |
 |
| Scooping out the inside to make a drinking gourd |
 |
| Scrubbing reveals the beautiful natural colors of the gourd. |

| One gourd was made to look like a chicken |

| Oiling the gourd to give it a soft shine |
 |
| The finished product - a beautiful bowl! |
 |
| Filled with dried peas this gourd became a musical instrument |
