Pre-Kindergarten

Pacific Elementary School Life Lab and Food Lab

 Pacific Elementary School's Life Lab Garden and Food Lab Program serve pre-schoolers through sixth grade.

Our school garden is ran by teacher, teacher's aides, and parent/community volunteers. We grow produce and flowers for use in the Food Lab Program. 

Our Food Lab Program prepares school lunch everyday of the year with help of 5th-6th grade students. Food Lab students plan and prepare our school lunch. It is a truly unique program.

Enrich LA

EnrichLA is a non-profit organization whose mission is to bring edible gardens and orchards into public schools across Los Angeles. With the help of the school community, community members and corporate partners, we build each garden by hand. Our gardens serve students in pre-k through grade 12 and have a variety of unique features. Many of our sites have grape arbors, outdoor classroom spaces, picnic benches, outdoor kitchens, dry creek beds and raised and in-ground fruit and vegetable beds.

Whiting Lane Elementary School Living Classroom

My school in Connecticut consists of prekindergarten through fifth grade students. The prekindergarten is geared for working with children who have special needs. Our K through five classes include the integration of students with autism, special needs and language differences. My goal, as school librarian, is to bring these different groups together through events promoting environmental literacy. At this time, each grade level is in charge of growing the flowers, vegetables and herbs in their own 4 x 8 foot raised bed.  Their gardens reflect what they are learning in the classrooms.
