Over the past few days, we've been busy making lesson plans and working out the activities we'll be doing with the third graders over the semester. There are so many concepts and ideas that go into gardening, so we'll have our hands full even before the plants go into the ground! Below is our lesson and activity schedule for the semester:
March 16: Sampling fruits and vegetables, healthy eating games and matching activities, making healthy recipes with foods from the garden (planned by all)
March 30: Indoor planting for starter seedlings (planned by Kateri)
April 13: Biodiversity (planned by Kateri)
April 20: Why organic? (planned by Christina)
April 27: Tracing the food, local foods (planned by Sheila)
May 4: Field trip to a local organic farm (planned by Christina)
Week of May 11: Outdoor planting (planned by Sheila)
*After our lesson plans are complete, we'll be posting them online for others to view (and hopefully use!).
Last Friday, Christina and I went down to Greenvale Park Elementary to observe Sr. Seidl's class. It was useful for us to see how third graders learn and operate in a classroom setting as we plan out activities and learning goals for the upcoming weeks.
