The Cajon Valley Union School District utilizes a unique additional curriculum known as the World of Work.With an aim of closing the unemployment gap, the WoW curriculum enables students to map their educational goals to create a path to gainful employment. Students will have the opportunity to explore possible career paths while also learning about their strengths and interests. One of the World of Work 5th grade careers is a Horticulturist. An accessible garden will allow my students the opportunity to learn about this career path, while also learning about plants, nutrition, and sustainability. This grant will allow dozens of students, many of whom are low-income and have unique abilities, the opportunity to explore all of their senses while learning important skills. Students will be able to dig for worms, smell fresh basil and lemon verbena, and taste a juicy tomato freshly plucked from the vine, things that they might not have had the opportunity to experience previously. Throughout the school year, the following topics will be covered: planning a garden, seed starting, planting, harvesting, composting, and donating the crops to those in need. The students who are responsible for planning the crops will benefit from the real-life math and science lessons. The students responsible for maintaining the garden will learn valuable life skills, functional skills, and vocational skills. Students will be able to practice important skills relevant to the World of Work curriculum. Students will benefit from the teamwork and cooperation necessary to build and maintain an accessible food garden.
