Our grade 5s ventured enthusiastically into the garden today, after learning about the basics of plants and organic gardening to grow their own vegetables. They took over a patch of the flower bed and planted vegetables, which they’ll be nurturing themselves. This exercise will not only help them practically put their knowledge into application, it will teach them lessons that transcend text books; like self reliance, empathy, patience, problem solving and mindfulness.
What do you think they’ll do with the vegetables they harvest ?
