Mrs. Argus' 1st Grade Class Visit!

On Monday I had the pleasure of visiting a first grade class at IPS School #60, a magnet IPS/Butler University elementary school not too far from the garden.  The school as a whole uses a very hands-on approach to learning.  Since gardening embraces a hands-on learning environment, Mrs. Argus decided to implement it into her curriculum.  Worms and all.  Pretty cool.

 Growing earth worms in the classroom.  Love watching little girls dive into the dirt! 

Showing off a nice sized worm.

 Time to play Guess That Veggie.

He guessed "salad" instead of "lettuce."  Close enough!
