Dead Fish ...

We read Young Squanto and talked about all the ways Squanto helped the Pilgrims. 

 

One of the ways he helped them was showing them how to plant corn seeds with a dead fish to make the soil rich. So we decided to try it. We planted a corn seed (yellow M&M) with a dead fish (Swedish fish) in dirt (chocolate pudding). 

We had to make sure the seed and fish were deep in the soil. 

Our hands got really dirty so we all went to the restroom to wash our hands. (Some of us even licked the dirt off our hands!)

Then when we came back....CORN HAD GROWN!!! It was amazing!
