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.

Can You Guess?
A little rain didn't stop us from enjoying ourselves at Garden Club! Although we sat indoors, the students learned about the parts of the plant by trying to guess what was in unmarked bags. They had fun reaching in and feeling what was in the bag (without peeking, well, sort of!). They had to write their guesses down and then we revealed what was in each bag. If they guessed right, they took home what was in the bag...tomatoes, strawberries, orange, sunflower, sunflower seeds, onion, lettuce.
