We enjoyed our Service Learning with 3rd grade friends from Mrs. Stockmoe's Crew. As we have been working on our learning expedition, The World is our Garden, we noticed that we did not have enough soil in our garden beds for our planting.
From there, we reached out to Mrs. Stockmoe's 3rd grade crew for help. Third grade calculated how much soil needed to be ordered by using their math skills.
We paired up with a buddy and got to work. Students worked on pulling weeds, cleaning up trash, moving dirt and mixing compost.
Our work was hard, but we were so proud of our accomplishments. As we reflected on our stars and steps, students liked having an older student to help and enjoyed being to do the work themselves. Next steps, the students hope we can build some benches and add more plants by the fence.
What a great opportunity of learning!
