These #gardenbeds at Patton ES are made from #repurposed plastic Covid desk shields! Teachers Dani Kunz & Eva Turner had the idea, & the talented students, staff & families at Patton built the beds. Patton is committed to #outdoorlearning & furthering their NWF #GreenFlag status!

We've been having so much fun learning about how tools and simple machines can help make work easier in the garden! Students at Boone elementary experimented with sleds, pulleys, wedges, levers and more!

PEAS is off to an amazing start with our Sound Energy Lesson!

Students observed + mapped various nature sounds in their school gardens! From bees buzzing, airplanes wooshing, and the pitter patter of feet on the grass, SOUND IS ALL AROUND!
