Kids in the Garden – Learning and Growing

Gardening with kids is a great learning opportunity to teach math, science, social studies, reading, writing and social skills. We often underestimate the power of a garden as an educational tool.  

Here at The Educators’ Spin On It, we strongly urge parents and teachers to PLANT A SEED with your child and watch them grow.

  1. The best practice is to grow your own fruits and vegetables for your family so they can have a clean and fresh taste with its benefit. It is also a fun to do your own planting and it is a good exercise to educate your kids how to plant a vegetable and fruits.

  4. Ooh, Joyce, I think that would be a wonderful start! Let us know how it goes!
