Earlier this month, we went to the garden next to Cox North and help the kids pull weeds and cut down old plants. We cleaned up the garden beds for next year and put down cardboard for a new bed. Teaching these kids to garden now will help them save money later on in life by growing their own food. Not only will it help save money but it will also cut down mass produce. It was fun to be working along side the kids cleaning up their garden. I cant wait for spring when we can plant. I think that the kids learn a lot by watching the plants grow and the feeling that they get when they see their hard work paying off.
Also, we have been working with Boyd with their think green program. We are going to be eating lunch with the kids and teaching them how to think green. We are going to be teaching the kids ways to make the world more green along side what the teacher is covering. While the teacher is covering the subject like rain cycle, they can tell the kids that if this doesn’t happen, then the garden wont grow. We are just there to help the kids understand why these things are important and why it is important to think green.
