Coulson Tough K - 6 School

We have a 3-year-plan to reach our goal of creating a garden area that will enhance and extend the learning in our classrooms providing a variety of opportunities to apply knowledge in a hands-on, real-world setting. Objectives in math were taken into consideration during the design process so that our students who are learning about area and perimeter will have a place on campus to practice those skills. Composting and vermiculture in will bring to life the science objective of how soil is made through decomposition. The life cycle of a plant, plant genetics and the thrill of planting a seed and watching it grow can be experienced by those who visit. Children will benefit from learning about the importance of eating healthy foods, being active and living a healthy lifestyle. Our garden will produce vegetables and fruit and will be maintained by the students in all grade levels on our campus. The garden will be a place where students with different learning styles can blossom.
