					<description><![CDATA[To continue our celebration of Tu B'shvat, we invited Farmer Sara from Grow Torah to our classes! On Tu B'shvat we celebrate trees and plants and our relationship with nature. Farmer Sara taught us about our responsibility to "l'ovdah u'shomrah" to work and guard over the land that Hashem has gifted us with. Our 5th graders guided our kindergarteners in helping each kindergartener to plant and care for their own small "farm" of microgreens. This act of creating and sustaining our own “micro-ecosystem” drives home the lessons of stewardship that are central to Tu B’Shvat. Our kindergartners are excited to thank the 5th graders by sharing what they grow.]]></description>
