Week 1: Forest Ridge and Christ the King- Tuesday

Hi everyone,
Today we experienced life as a migrant worker. We got up at 5:15 am to work in the fields. Our schools were split up and went to different organic farms. We then weeded the beds, so that plants could thrive in their environment. This took 2 hours in the hot sun. The Forest Ridge School took a tour and saw the cows and calves. Then we planted the potatoes, and weeded the onion beds. Christ the King also took a tour and then we weeded broccoli. They also picked peas and 2 types of beans. Then we all received our "Pay check" which we used later on to buy our dinners. The process on making and buying our dinner was a confusing process.We all received 5 dollars to buy food for all of our "family."  Then we got on buses and went to the migrant camps. We then handed out flyers for our food bank, and got to play with the migrant workers' kids. After that we had circle time and then headed off to bed.
