Every 6th grade student writes a Food Memory at the time of their orientation. During this activity, students are asked to think about one of their most memorable encounters with food. Students are asked to think specifically about: the setting, how the food tasted, the people who were present, the small, taste, texture, etc. The students are asked to describe their food memory in detail. They are given a garden snack and water while they write. At the end, just before clean up, students volunteer to share at their table. When the class comes back together for closing circle, students volunteer to share to the whole class.
Students have a light snack. Students will work together to plant four beds of green cabbage. Students draw on their knowledge on how to amend soil with compost. They then transplant, water and cover beds with hoops and nettings.
