So far this quarter I have had the opportunity to teach garden lessons to all ages of elementary students from kindergarten to fifth grade in the garden recess program at Lydia Hawk as well as kindergarten to second grade during field trip lessons at Mountain View Elementary. It has been extremely valuable to get to practice my teaching skills with various age groups and learn how to adjust my use of language and energy levels to best suit my age audiences. I have been able to learn how to teach garden lessons in a formal field trip setting as well as a less formal recess setting, both have been helpful in learning the impact and interworking of how to use a garden for a learning space as well as a tool to develop social and emotional skills. I have also learned a lot about how the Food Bank operates and how a garden education program is funded and supported via a nonprofit and have learned of several other pathways to start a garden program My goals for the rest of the quarter are to complete official lesson plans and activities as well as continue to develop my teaching skills and confidence. I would also like to complete more research on garden learning and social-emotional learning.
