Welcome to Session One at El Morro's Garden Club!
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.
Week One

Plant Parts Picnic
This week
the kids learned and ate parts of the plant: seed (sunflower seeds), root
(carrot), stem (celery), leaf (spinach), flower, fruit (apple). They drew and
labeled the parts of the plant.
In the
Garden: The kids picked the wild mint from the garden and helped prune trees.
We have some big pumpkins growing! We also found a lizard.
