My Students

Our school's Learning Garden is truly an outdoor classroom! Lessons have been learned across many curriculum- including life science, nutrition, and math, just to name a few. My students have planted, watered, weeded and harvested together. Unlike The Little Red Hen, everyone loves participating.

My second graders are enthusiastic learners, who love school.

Our school is located in a densely populated suburban neighborhood in So. California. The majority of students live in the nearby apartment buildings, and often don't have the opportunity to play outdoors. Our school is Title 1 because the population of attending students is in the low socioeconomic range. Our school was the recipient of a Learning Garden in the spring of 2015, and this has been a meaningful and exciting experience for our students. My students, as well as others at our school, love working in the garden. They have had the opportunity to prepare the soil for planting, planted seeds and seedlings, watered on a regular basis, weeded, harvested, and eaten what we have planted.

My Project

My Project: Having picnic tables in the Learning Garden would provide my students as well as the other classes who also care for the garden, a place to sit when participating in nutrition education lessons. In preparation for planting, students are instructed about the types of seeds or seedlings they will be planting, how these vegetables, herbs or fruit contribute to our health, and how they will go about planting them. It would also allow students a place outdoors to sit and prepare "the fruits of their labor" for consumption, after vegetables, herbs and fruits have been harvested by them. Students enjoy the process of harvesting and preparing the food enormously! They often will try new vegetables and herbs because they've been a part of growing them. Having picnic tables would make this learning garden truly an outdoor classroom.

Donations to this project would enhance all of students experiences in the school's Learning Garden.

The Learning Garden has become a special place where students are trying new foods; becoming influenced in a positive way to eat more healthily, and understanding why it is important to do so. Our outdoor classroom however is lacking a place for students to sit when they need to.
