Hello all,
We have created a 5 lesson program to teach gardening to children in JK, SK and Grade 1. We visit area schools once a week for five weeks to offer this program. We bring all the materials that are needed as well as snack. On the 5th lesson we have a parent's day so that the information can be shared with parents too.
We have been doing this program for many years. This year we went to 46 classes at 12 schools offering programs in both French (as much as we can) and English. We had more interest in the program than we could meet.
Many teachers have had us come to their classes for many years. To help us meet the demand, we decided to create a kit that teachers can borrow and facilitate themselves. We told the teachers that we worked with this year about the kit and that it would be available for them next year. Within days teachers were calling to see if they could get the kit for this year!
If anyone is interested in learning about this program, please let me know.
