Overall the experience I had working with the Thurston County Food Bank school Garden program exceeded my expectations. I meet my learning goals of learning to teach elementary school students in two different garden education programs. I worked with students K-5 and developed deeper teaching skills by getting to work closely with various developmental stages. It was extremely valuable to have practice teaching so many different age groups at once. Additionally, to dive further into my interest in early childhood education, I spent time in a Kindergarten classroom observing classroom management techniques and leading small groups in their on-campus garden. From my supervisor, I learned about the interworkings of running and developing school garden programs under a nonprofit organization. I ran a WordPress blog and was able to reflect on my experiences and record the work I did this quarter both through written work and photography. I created a lesson plan for the garden program and was able to implement it with various groups of students. This experience was invaluable and represents what I have focused on in my journey here at Evergreen. I was able to apply my past experiences in environmental education and step into a new sphere of teaching in garden education. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
