Students use their five senses to observe the garden and record what they hear, feel, smell, see, and taste through writing a variety of poems. April: Seed Starting: From Seed to Plant: Students learn how to start seeds, care for them indoors, and transplant them into the garden. They gain knowledge of what a seed needs to sprout.

Growing fruits and vegetables, preparing and serving them at meals, and going full circle and planting seeds from the produce establishes life skills such as patience, cause and effect, develops self-esteem and establishes respect for the environment.

I agree with you totally a Healthy lifestyle is what we what for our children they are our future and with Depression, child Obesity and Heart disease on the rise we need to equip them with the tools to fight bad eating habits. I do believe growing your own food will help in this fight.

We garden in my classroom to learn a multitude of things. We start with learning how plants grow and what we need to do to take care of them. Then as they grow we measure the plants parts and fruits/vegetables growing and practice comparing them. We also learn about nutrition and use what we've grown to make many different things in the kitchen. The kids love seeing where their food comes from.

One reason is to promote healthy eating. Also for children to see something grow from seed to harvest. Helps them have patience, learn how to care for plants to make them grow and have self esteem and a sense of accomplishment, when vegetables they have grown and cared for are harvested.

One reason to introduce gardening into your classroom is to encourage healthy eating. When children see how food grows and what is in the food we eat they are more likely to form healthier eating habits as they grow and are more likely to try new types of fruits and vegetables.

I love the idea of gardening with children. We have an outside garden out our daycare. I love growing flowers, but also the tomatoes, cucumbers, zuchinni, carrots, potatoes, strawberries etc. My students love snacking out of our garden all summer. They planted everything and care for the garden. An indoor garden would allow us to do it all year long. Great way to have healthy foods within reach, but also the teamwork it incorporates.

There seems to be so many reasons to introduce gardening in the classroom. Not only does it expose the children to healthy eating habits but it teaches patience and dedication. It promotes cooperation and problem solving. Gardening engages all the senses. The science opportunities are endless as well.
