Sweet Potato Pie !

Last year we placed a yam in a jar of water and it grew long vines and a lot of roots. Before the summer break we planted the potato in our garden in the backyard.  To our surprise the potato grew and grew and grew.  We had read a book about a grandma who did the same and grew a potato as large as a house!  So re-inacting the book our class proceeded to harvest our sweet potato in the same manner as our book characters.  The kids had fun reading the book and digging the fruits of our labor.
