So far we have traveled to each continent, created maps, explored energy and the states of matter. The rest of the year we will be focusing on school garden. I can't wait!
We are starting with an interactive lesson on the life cycle of a seed through the Douglas County Conservation Group. They are teaching through song and movement. I can't wait.
Our next step is to research the best spot for sunlight and write a letter to our administration about it. (I have already got the approval.)
Then we are going to research the best plants to grow in our area and start the seeds in the classroom under grow lamps.
After that we will clear the space and get the ground ready. Finally we will plant and care for the garden. I plan on creating a sign up for people to come care for it during the summer and to plant in an area that already gets watered.
To prepare for this project I have reached out to local hardware stores and nurseries. I have also set up a Donor's Choose for this project.
