Teacher Marieke Maccione and her UNCG
Service Learning student Sonny Yang led a lesson with kindergarteners about soil
and life cycles in their garden right outside their classroom door. Caterpillars
forming chrysalis, sweet potato plants maturing, planting young seedlings all
going on.
Students dug
soil samples, put them in zip lock bags and took them
back into the
classroom.
Magnifying glasses were handed out
for up close observations. Students made drawings and wrote descriptions in
their science journals.
Every Monday Mrs. Maccione conducts
garden based hands-on lessons with her students. The students love it and share
with each other and their teacher and their Service Learning buddy what they
discover!
