Farms & Gardens
In Second Grade, students explore an Expedition all about Farms and Gardens. This year, students kicked off their learning with a visit from Urban Farmer Willie to learn about the work that he cultivates at his Urban Farm. Students had the opportunity to engage in Farmer Willie’s presentation and ask questions afterwards. Some questions students asked were:
How long have you had your own farm or garden?
What is your favorite fruit and vegetable?
What types of fruits and vegetables do you grow in your garden?
How can I become an urban farmer?
After learning about Farmer Willie’s Urban garden, students then had the opportunity to transition to our cafeteria for some planting of their own. With the help of our wonderful caregiver, parent, and community members, students in second grade were able to plant and take ownership over the growth of their garden.
