For many of them, it was their first time planting seeds and watching them grow. They eagerly took on responsibilities such as watering, weeding, and observing the changes each week. Their excitement was contagious, and it quickly became one of their favorite activities.\r\n\r\nOur next steps will be to expand the gardening project by introducing more herbs and flowers, and encouraging students to think about how gardening connects to healthy living and sustainability. Pre-K students will continue exploring growth and change, while 5th graders will deepen their understanding of where food comes from and how it reaches their tables.
