What will be done with my students

Classroom students will learn Life Science, Life Skills, and work collaboratively with peers in the garden during the school year. Students will be able to raise questions, investigate, keep records, and explain. Our goal is to grow a variety of vegetables throughout the year. Some items we would like to the students to experience are the following: tomatoes, carrots, squash, bell peppers, radishes, squash, and many more.  

 

Benefits to my students

Our students will be able to enjoy all aspects of gardening. They can be entertained and involved by the entire process of gardening from planning, planting, estimating, to recording the growth of plants. In addition, they will be able to taste the fruits and vegetables of their labor.
