My Students
"Try it you might just like it..." is a phrase I use in our garden and during lectures and guided notes in SCIENCE class.
My students attend a Title 1 school in South Florida.
98% of the students receive free or reduced lunch. We serve limited English proficient students and SPED students. Many students have individualized documented accommodations to meet their academic needs.
My Project
My students are about to learn about plants. This unit requires hands-on activities. Therefore, having plant books, soil, fertilizer and various seeds they will be able to get their hands dirty. They will be able to record first hand observations in their science journals instead of using simulations.
These youngsters will learn how plants grow, how to care for a garden and how the food chain works, as well as how career to work connections interact. I am excited and so are they. We have even discussed having a Chat & Chew inviting their parents to school. Students will reflect on this project and what their take away will be and what call to action will they act upon to ensure other students care for the garden area once they have moved on to middle school.
This project will give students the opportunity to create, make and tend to their very own garden.
Since the school does not have a garden, it will be the first therefore all 500 students will be exposed to this environmental service project. Certainly, students lives will be changed for the better by learning about and making healthy, nutritious food choices!
