About This Activity
The Grounded Kid Outdoor Classroom program, taught by our educators, seeks to encourage students and teachers to consider the school garden as an extension of the traditional classroom whether that be included in the school curriculum or an extracurricular activity. We use the school garden as a living laboratory where lessons are tied to common core curriculum standards, encourage inquiry-based learning, provide hands-on experiential learning opportunities and support next generation science standards. As part of their grade level experience each week, students have opportunity to slow down from the pace of technology and engage with nature, experiencing yoga, gardening and nutrition, observing the environment surrounding them through their senses, tasting seasonal and local produce, plant and tend to their school garden beds and develop an understanding of what is needed to become environmental stewards of the future.
