Healthy Foods From Healthy Soils April 23 - May 22, 2012
All Soule and Harraseeket third graders are now participating in this unit. It involves myself, Mr. McKibben and Ms. Pearson too. We are focusing on what specific environmental and biological components are necessary to provide healthy food and water for all.
A major aspect of this unit is our collaboration with Wolfe's Neck Farm where we will be spending an entire week. There, we will work with the animals, help plant, learn about composting, and about nutrition, and many other topics. Also, in conjunction with the Freeport Historical Society, students will be creating 15+ scarecrows to be donated to the farm, to the Historical Society's Pettingill Farm and to Mast Landing School. When we return to school in September, some scarecrows will still be at work in our school gardens protecting our plants.
About Me
- Carol Taylor
- Hello. This is my 19th year teaching at MLS. My time this year at school is from lunch time until the end of the day at 3:20. I am often at school an hour or two after the children leave too, in case you need to reach me then. This year I again am teaching science afternoon units and Writer's Workshop. I am delighted to share the room with Ms. Shea, who teaches math and language arts in the morning. My blog focuses on my afternoon units which are all science units. They are very participatory classes. I like to take photos of the children while they are working on their projects and experiments. I hope you enjoy them!
