Our 5th grade students enjoyed taking advantage of the beautiful fall weather with lunch outside followed by a hands-on ecosystem lesson in our school garden. Students explored the importance of rain barrels and compost bins and how these tools help support a healthy, sustainable environment. After their lesson, they rolled up their sleeves and spent time cleaning up the garden and getting it ready for a new season. They are now researching creative ideas for planting a fall and winter garden and discovering which plants will thrive during the cooler months. We love seeing our students take an active role in caring for our environment while learning about sustainability, ecosystems, and the importance of giving back to their school community!
