Support Mrs. Pilcher's classroom with a gift that fosters learning.
Our school motto has become "Life's a Garden Dig IT!" My students are learning how to manage their resources while growing high quality food and seed saving for the following year. Agriculture in the classroom is providing a much needed educational opportunity for our students that they can take back to their homes and communities. While in the gardens, students are learning life skills such as patience and determination. We discuss the economy and how locally grown food can change the way we eat and reduce the obesity epidemic. They are also putting basic math skills to work by measuring gardening areas and determining the amount of soil needed. They enjoy the physical activity while not only learning about agriculture, but also science, math, and economics.
