Covid kept most of us learning off a screen for a full school year and a half. After such a draining, technology based year, it is time to recharge. There is no better way to do that than to get back in touch with nature. I am requesting gardening gloves, a hose, a greenhouse cover, kneeling pads, seeds and seed starter trays so my students can experience the outdoors in a way many of them do not get to experience.
Last school year (2019-2020) we started working on building a school butterfly garden. However, due to Covid and a hard freeze in Texas, we lost the opportunity to keep up with our garden. Even before all these interruptions, I noticed was that just a few weeks in, we had very little to do. Therefore, it is my hope that by starting a fruit and vegetable garden, not only will students remain engaged longer, but might want to consume healthier snacks.
