This link leads to the resources we have developed to make use of our school grounds as an educational tool.  It includes lessons we have developed as well as links to other useful websites.  Our activities and lesson plans are all in Microsoft Word document format so they can be easily altered to meet the specific resources and needs of the people using them.  Coordinators are the parent volunteers who assist the teachers by leading the class in the gardens. 

Our spring and fall schedules are calendars that take into account the needs of our zone 6 gardens and the timing of classroom curriculum, and pair activities and lesson plans that are relevant to each of the K-4th grades we work with. 

Credit goes to Jody Maher for the development of the lesson plans and calendar.  She has a passion for learning that shows in everything she does.  The lesson plans continue to evolve, and Jody appreciates feedback from teachers and volunteers who use them.  She is always looking for new ways to enhance the learning opportunity of each outdoor experience.  Jody joined the program as a parent volunteer in 2002.  She is now our Class Garden Program Manager.
