Love and Peace to My Sweet Beet.
I was thinking of you yesterday,
and now I know why. I have a question for you.
Have you developed a Child's curriculum
as an introduction to growing your own food
via one beet at a time? I am very interested
to know what you're doing.

Hi Eva,
Of course we welcome your beets!
Do you need planting trays and potting soil?
We have some. Just let me know.
Also how much room will you need cleared in the beds?
Also, we would be soooooo grateful
if you would write up your measurement activity
in the form of a simple lesson plan. and your beet lesson.
We would like to offer teachers an array of activities that can use the garden. We are working on some of our own too!
Email it to me early next week (if you can) and I'll print it up.
Many thanks for all that you do for your students!
Best,
Paula

Yes, wonderful! I will stop by.

I have some ideas for a measurement activity. We also want to plant some beet seeds that my uncle donated, then we are going to use them for staining slides once they grow. Can we fit some beets in?

Subject: Grand Opening "Party"
Hi Eva,
To fulfill the requirements of the city grant we have to have a "Grand Opening" to introduce the project to the teachers, students, parents, community, and community leaders. So, on Oct. 7th, Principal Garcia suggested that we invite all teachers to visit the garden for a few minutes throughout the day
AND since it is "Back to School Night",
the parents can come before visiting classes in the evening.
That's why the garden will be open from 7am until 7pm .
Also coming on 10/7 will be Councilman Paul Koretz, t
he City Granting Office Leadership,
and the South Robertson Neighborhoods Council President.
You got a special email invite (the same that went to community leaders) because you have been a friend of the garden all along.
The teachers will be getting paper invitations in their mail boxes.
If a teacher wants to see the garden and bring his/her class,
we are asking them to sign up on a sheet that Karen Laramay will post in the office telling us what time they would like to visit. We're asking teachers to come for just 10 minute intervals. This way we won't have too many students in the garden at once. We are trying to encourage as many students teachers as possible to use/experience the garden.
So far, it has just been the science department.
In the weeks that follow Oct. 7th ,
we will be opening the garden so that teachers
and students can come in to work and study.
Hope that explains it.
Paula

original post
Ms Eva Becker, my niece, is a top science high school teacher
at Hamilton High School in L.A. I visited three of her classes
last Monday. The kids were great.
Eva teaches ecology, macro molecules,
basic organic chemistry, living cells, health--how energy is used.
cell division, and genetics, and the human system.
I visited three of Ms Eva Becker's tenth grade science classes
last Monday.
The Kids did a follow up and wrote me letters.
Some of these handwritten notes bring tears to my eyes.
Dear Uncle,
Hey I enjoyed you yesterday.
The conversation was very interesting.
You're a really, funny guy in your own lite way.
You could be my long lost uncle I never had.
Hey, well come back and visit us. I would like that.
Love always,
Rae
Dear Uncle Leslie,
I learned a lot about dreams. I have a big aim
in life and you are my role model and I will make better pizza.
Also I will keep the beet. You have opened my eyes about
food and everything. Thanks for helping me plant my dream.

Dear Mr. Goldman,
I learned that being honest is right, that It doesn't matter
what I do. If I don't know what I have to do with my life yet.
I have to start from there and make everything the way I want
it to be. You are a cool guy and know how to explain yourself
and that food that they give in school is not good and I gotta
take care.
Dear Uncle Leslie,
It was really nice meeting you yesterday.
It was a realy nice and new experience talking
about my dreams. and incorporating nature into it.
I had a good time and it helped me feel better about
my life because I' going through some thing right now.
I'm excited to watch my beet grow and see my dreams
come true. You helped me realize that I need
to care more about nature and how much nature
brings peace to the mind. Thank you and I really
appreciate. Hpe to see you soon. Keep in touch.
Uncle Leslie!
well I'm the girl that
got the Himalayian Rock.
I'm the that wants to be a kindergarden
teacher. Well I thin that your beet stuff is a good
interesting way to help people accomplish their deams.
Well' Ill be researching up the salts. Hop you come again.
Sincerely,
Elsa
Dear "Uncle Leslie:,
I am very glad that you came in and talked to our class
yesterday. Nature has always fascinated me. The cures and remedies
found in the natural world are no doubt important to not lonly our
physical lives, but in our spiritual lives as well. I feel strongly
about how our diet can imact our minds and our souls.
I would really love to learn more from you. I believe I already
left you my contat information, but I'll leave it on the bottom
just in case. Thank You!
Diego
Dear Uncle Leslie,
Hearing you speak about our dreams made me really think
about my dreams. I want to reach my goals and be successful.
I hop you come back!

I learned that eating healthy helps me play better
basketball and helps better my goals.

Dear Uncle Leslie,
Your presentation was one in a life time. Many of the kids
including myself only know the junk we get everyday.
It is nice to hear that someone cares and that there are
other alternatives. I am so happy that you took time
out to come and talk to us. Dreams are something
that are not often talked about, but they are the most
impotant aspects of life.
Thank you sooo much,
and please come agian.
Devonne
Q: WHat did yesterday's lesson mean to you? or Not?
A: I believe it was an interesting experience, but it not not effect
me much. I do believe that living life closer to plants is a healthy
lifestyle, but this could not fit into my life that is all about keeping
on the move, making the next step forward, and exercising
until you can't breathe. Overall thank you for the experience.

Dear Mr Becker,
I appreciated your presentation very much. It helped me
think of life in a different way.
Dear Uncle Leslie,
Thank you so much for coming. You may not really believe it,
but I really feel that I learned a lot and I am planning to plant
my dreams soon. Also in case yu lost my paperfor farmer contacts,
my info is...

Anthony is Keep the Beet Media Star's lead on her "The End of
Stryofoam" campaign. His pots are the centerpiece of our planting
program with kids, and kids of all ages. We replant beet roots
in the pots and use them to transport beet seeds.
We have been experimenting with beet seeds growing in the pots.
The beet roots grow better for a period of time.
The beet seeds prefer to grow in the ground.
I prefer Foxfarm soil as the base.
