Celebrating Our Learning

First graders invited their parents to our Celebration of Learning of our Learning Expedition, The World is Our Garden.  Students were the tour guides through three different stations to answer our guiding question:
What helps our garden thrive?
Students started their tour in the outdoor classroom to teach their families all about soil, earthworms and compost.

Families listened closely as our garden experts shared their learning.
Next, our experts headed to our classroom to teach families about garden pollinators and their important job for our garden.

Students shared their non-fiction garden pollinator book which included many non-fiction text features that students had studied.  A high quality garden pollinator puppet allowed students to share their learning in a new and creative way.
Finally, we ended our learning tour in the learning commons where students taught their parents all about garden plants and pollination using a hand made 3D flower.
It was so wonderful to see such empowered students who were excited to share their learning and their passion to save the bees!
