Kitchen Classrooms

Skyline School Garden Program

Skyline Elementary is a public school which serves the children of Solana Beach.  The enrollment is currently 550 children, in grades Kindergarten to sixth grade.  Twenty-two percent of the school population is at or below the poverty line.  The goal of the school's garden program is to involve each student in the curriculum throughout each school year.  The mission is to try to reduce the increasing rate of diabetes and obesity among children.

Annandale Edible Garden

Our primary goal is to grow edible plants that can be used by our Culinary Arts students. The school has an active and popular culinary arts program that provides hands-on experience for students who want to learn skills needed for careers in the food service industry. The garden will enhance learning by providing them with the opportunity to tie their experiences growing plants to their studies. Our school is highly diverse and has a range of students from all parts of the globe and at all levels of ability.

Roosevelt's Grilling Garden

We are teaching special education students how to grow and prepare their own vegetables at home for a healthier lifestyle. We have incorporated live-fire grilling as our main preparation method.

Garden Growers Group

The Garden Growers Group is an important part of the GSB Community Garden. A Garden Grower is a member of the GSB Community that is helping the garden to grow by sharing time to help with the garden. This may include planting, weeding, and harvesting. There are also tasks that do not require getting dirty hands in the garden.  This includes sorting and saving seeds, planning summer plantings, updating our log books, and keeping the GSB Community updated about what is happening in the garden.  Garden Growers will be able to share in the harvest by sharing their time to help the garden. 

Woodland Elementary Charter School

At Woodland, our new garden program brings together our students, teachers, parents and community members. We are working together to mange a large-scale garden. Woodland is a PreK-5th grade elementary school in Sandy Springs, Georgia. We are in the process of becoming STEM Certified. Our school gardening program fits perfectly into the curriculum for every grade level, ability and every subject. Gardening provides our students with amazing hands on learning opportunities and lessons they will carry with them for a lifetime. We are a center school for students with special needs.

Wilton High School

Some of what is written below is from our course proposal in 2015 for our Farm To Table class...

 

We find ourselves disconnected from our farms and farmers, and from the story of what we eat.   As society started to move to cities and away from farms many local food sources have disappeared.  Food as we know it today is processed in enormous bulk and shipped halfway around the world before finding its way to our pantries.   It seems as if food comes from a shelf  in the supermarket.  One of the biggest trends in the culinary world today is the farm-to-table movement.

Environmental Charter School

The ECS Edible Schoolyard's (ESY) mission is to build connections with students, families, and the larger community through garden and kitchen experiences that foster compassionate citizens who feel empowered to make healthy food choices for themselves and increase access to healthy food for others. ECS values the whole child and honors students’ mind, body, and spirit through its holistic approach to education.

We envision the ECS ESY to:

Carbondale Community School

The Carbondale Community School (CCS) Learning Garden and club began in spring, 2014. Carbondale Community School is a K-8 public charter school with 135 students.

H.B. Wilson Family School

With H.B Wilson’s school garden, we seek to engage students in a variety of areas that will create a healthy nutrition environment and foster improved student health. We believe that in doing so, this early learning experience in the garden will create positive relationships between healthy food and children. The school garden project enhances classroom programming to provide nutrition education and hands-on sustainable agricultural practice, provided weekly by two FoodCorps service members. The garden is an accessible and hands-on tool for teachers to use with their students.

Bullock Children's Garden

In our Bullock Children's Garden/Outdoor Classroom lessons will come alive as students actively investigate while interacting within the garden. We will connect the concepts we teach in the classroom to real world experiences, while integrating literacy, writing, math, science, social studies, art, music, nutrition, and even concepts of engineering and technology (utilizing STEM concepts/units). This will all be accomplished while immersing the children in the beauty of nature, creating an interactive, organic, EDIBLE garden and integrating the Common Core Standards.
