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.
