Academic Classrooms

Edutopia is a resource website for educators, dedicated to improving the K-12 learning process by documenting, disseminating, and advocating for innovative, replicable, and evidence-based strategies that prepare students to thrive in their future education, careers, and adult lives.

We offer some resources and videos around green education, school gardens, and student nutrition on our website.

Nourish is an educational initiative designed to increase food literacy and build healthy communities. Nourish offers a rich set of resources to support educators who want to open a meaningful conversation about food and sustainability, including K-12 teachers, school administrators, farm-to-school and garden coordinators, food service staff, health professionals, and nonprofit support providers.

 We have a beautiful outdoor classroom and school grounds where students are able to explore nature in the city.

Our raised beds are used for planting vegetables, herbs, and fruit in the fall, spring and summer. In the spring the 3rd and 4th graders sow the seeds and seedlings, maintain the raised beds and water when necessary. In my science classroom we take observations and measurments of the growth. We notice change over time and discuss what plants need in order to grow.
