Expedition Express: Welcome to the Kinder-Garden
We are nearing the end of our expedition and school year! The kids are finishing their investigations and cannot wait to show you them at Celebration of Learning. We have also finished our research on why people need plants. We’ve planted in the school garden for our salad party at the end of the year. On June 16, we will be headed to the Community Garden for our final fieldwork. The kids will be giving back to the community by working in the garden and helping plant.

Questions to Ask Your Child:
Why do people need plants?
What does community mean?
How are you going to help our community with all of your new information about plants?
