Patrick's Class Project!

Today I got the chance to walk to the school and watch the third graders plant rice! Behind the school there is an empty rice paddy.

The kids take off their flip flops, grab some rice plants and jump right in!

Boy was it a mess. The mud was everywhere! Everyone participated. The man in the tourquiose shirt is Patrick's teacher and the other man is the vice principal.

When they were done they washed their feet and hands in the trenches that ran beside the paddy. Then they went back inside changed their clothes and got back to work!
