My Project

When teaching the littlest of learners, we found that teaching became so much easier when the students were able to choose what they wanted to learn about. Being outside is also helpful and letting them explore their outdoor space allows for them to have questions about the world around them. It also allows us for teachers to have more flexibility in teaching. For example, we can dig holes, look for bugs, plant etc.

With these gardening tools my students will be able to take their learning experiences into their own hands.

They will have the opportunity to create inquiries based on things that they find, build, and explore.
