Looking for a way to bring nature into the schoolyard? Consider having an environmental learning site, in the form of a school garden, just outside your classroom door.
Students need to learn that the environment is not something you go on a school bus to see, but something that is everywhere we are. School gardens provide learning opportunities across the curriculum, not to mention a unique opportunity to engage children who may not have other opportunities to work in the soil.
For information about upcoming teacher workshops, funding opportunities and help getting started with your own planning, call (360) 397-6118 ext. 4352.
