Biophilia is the innate draw that we have as humans to be around plants and interact with them. There is research to support the social-emotional benefits to all humans by just being outside and the learning outcomes within science education and interdisciplinary learning. I am trying to start a garden/sustainability/science movement at my school with other teachers. Kindergarten- Looking for insects, smelling flowers, begin to get comfortable with being outside. Grade 1- learning the cycles of seasons and nature through stories and songs. Saving seeds, gathering dyed flowers. Taking “salad walks” to taste fresh-picked vegetables and fruits. SEASONAL CRAFTS Grade 2- Can also do what first grade does, as well as planting potatoes and bulbs. Planting container gardens with flowers and vegetables. Learning about COMPOST. Focus on good deeds: raking the yard and making flower bouquets for other classes. Grade 3- Emphasis on farming and building. Building and tending to compost heaps, managing school composting program. Growing and processing grains, then baking with milled flour. Building and tending individual raised vegetable beds, growing and using plants in our dye and fiber garden. Grade 4- Introduction to local geography and zoology. Studying local watersheds, native and traditional food and medicine sources, and supporting local wildlife. Tending our native pollinator garden and butterfly habitat garden. Caring for chickens. Vermicomposting.
