The El Morro Garden Club meets most Mondays from 2:30-3:30 p.m. Students choose how they spend their time in the garden. Options include: working in the garden (planting, weeding, harvesting), completing a garden-themed, hands-on activity that enhances their understanding of math, science, reading, writing, or creative arts, or engaging in supervised "free play" utilizing a bin of supplies such as books, journals, magnifying glasses, and art supplies.

Session Two Kick-Off
Our first class of this second session started off with rain! Great for the plants, not so good for the students. We were not able to spend time in the garden, but we had fun getting to know each other. I sent home the "Garden Rules" that we discussed. We also read "My Garden" by Kevin Henkes -- a story in which a young girl uses her imagination to invent a creative garden. The students shared their ideas of what they would have in their own imaginary garden. If they draw a picture of their garden and bring it to the next garden club, they will earn a seal buck.
