The Garden Classroom
is a definitely unique book. I love this book. It helps educators (public,
private or homeschool) teach science, math, reading, writing, imaginative play,
arts and crafts. It almost makes me wish it were spring so we could plant
something outside.
But there are ideas for
even growing things inside. A cake pan will hold dirt and grass seat so you can
grow turf to attract roaming toy dinosaurs or picnicking dolls.
There are ideas for big
outside gardens and teaching how to label plants or rows, or small container
gardens on a porch or in your windowsill. It teaches art and recycling by
encouraging children to decorate discarded tin cans or toilet paper rolls to
plant in.
The Garden Classroom also
includes crafts out of dried flowers and colorful autumn leaves.
