The Altamont School realizes the importance of educating students on global issues because they will most likely be the ones trying to solve them. This school year, every teacher at Altamont must incorporate the study of water into their curriculum. The School plans to adopt one global issue each year, and the garden will be a natural fit for several of the issues.
Our vision for the Crieve Hall Elementary School Learning Garden is to provide a dynamic, interactive, hands-on learning experience that supports the sciences and Common Core State Standards (CCSS) (e.g., questioning, critical thinking) at every grade level. This garden will allow for class time outside while conducting science experiments, planting and tasting, and discussing, writing or drawing observations.
