CALLING ALL DESIGNERS!

The Kindergarten Garden that we planted last year has been the source of much learning over the past 5 months. Over the summer, Kindergarteners signed up for watering duty and journaled about their experiences. This year our new Kindergarteners have learned about things that plants need to grow and how to harvest. Now we have the opportunity to expand our garden and Mrs. Olsen is calling on 5-8th graders to design our new garden space. Tomorrow teachers will pass out a Garden Design Challenge. Students will be able to work independently or in small groups to use critical thinking, geometry and math application skills, to help our Kindergarteners design our new garden space. I hope that many of you will participate in this challenge! There will be prizes awarded and I am really excited by the prospect of our SMS "big kids" using their talents to help our SMS "little kids". I can't wait to see your designs!!
