Goal
Our goal is to continue keeping the garden alive while teaching students to participate in an ongoing project at Poinciana Elementary School!
What will be done with my students
This gardening project will start at the beginning of the school year and be a permanent ongoing project. The students will learn to plant and care for their community garden. The students will learn what it means to work hard and work cooperatively in order to eat healthy and live a healthy life style. This project ties into the kindergarten curriculum through science, social studies, reading and writing. The students will be learning what plants need, parts of plants, how to work together, reading about garden care and writing about what they have accomplished.
Benefits to my students
The outcome of this wonderful project will inspire children to plant and care for a garden. It will help them understand why it is important to eat healthy and how they can be part of their community. There will be 40 kindergarten students and 2 teachers working to create and maintain this garden. The whole school will benefit from the beauty and the food that will be grown in our school community.
