OUTDOOR LEARNING/GARDEN COMMITTEE Chair – Sue Setliff (setliff.sue@)

COMMITTEE GOAL and/or ANNUAL EVENTS – The garden club provides an opportunity for curriculum based learning outside the classroom. We also enjoy contributing to the beauty of the school, and giving the kids a chance to be in a cultivated, aesthetically pleasing, natural space.

DESCRIPTION of COMMITTEE CHAIR Responsibilities:

• Assist the ACPS garden coordinator working with the kids in the garden. The lesson plans support the SOL’s and give kids a great visual appreciation for growing foods to eat, herbs that heal, animal habitats, plant parts and life cycles, awareness of native species, weather patterns and more.

• Planting, weeding, watering, and all maintenance of the garden beds, border and signage. This includes scheduling workdays, buying supplies and plant material, coordinating summer watering schedules.

• Managing and supporting efforts for “farm to table” week with ACPS food service.

• Soliciting and supporting special projects and events with the art (mosaics) and science (frog day) teachers.

COMMITTEE POSITIONS – All our members are able to participate in all activities.

DESCRIPTION of Responsibilities: Current needs include attending when the kids are out for a lesson with ACPS coordinator, supporting work days, attending special events, valuing the natural world as an important part of a child’s surroundings.

Note: The garden and outdoor classroom provides a change of pace and place for students to learn.  The garden activities directly connect to curriculum, and help to make some abstract ideas more concrete.  For example, the kindergarten explores the five senses in the garden, smelling mint, touching lamb's ear, and tasting chives and fennel.  By planting and harvesting and serving crops in the cafeteria, the kids explore food sources and commerce.  The garden provides an outdoor classroom for our science and art teachers especially.  Kids learning in the garden helps to promote an understanding and respect for nature and all living things.  Our native plants reflect part of Virginia history, our butterfly garden plays host to monarchs during migration, our tulips teach about dormancy and plant parts.
