Waldorf School of Orange County

Our goal is to "keep the ball rolling"! This semester, the kindergarten teachers and parents came together to organize and establish a kindergarten garden program. Through gardening, the students are learning science, math, teamwork, and the rewards of hardwork. They get to practice all of these skills while being outside, exercising, and working with their hands. They get to experience the long and rewarding process of feeding the soil, planting the seed, watering the seed, watching it grow and tending it along the way, harvesting, and finally, eating it!

We have gotten off to a good start this year. We are organized and enthused. Parents have been, not only volunteering their time, but also donating gardening supplies. We would like the program to not only continue through the years to come , but to physically expand as well. Our beautiful white-picket fence is in need of repair, and the pots in front of the two kindergarten classes have definitely seen better days!
