Ft. outdoor and garden educator Kaci Rae Christopher
In the fourth episode of Earthy Chats, co-hosts Jade Harvey-Berrill and Ian Shanahan chatted with outdoor and garden educator Kaci Rae Christopher, author of The School Garden Curriculum! Here's a sneak-peek at what was discussed:
*growing a science mindset through gardening
*finding connections to systems thinking
*how storytelling fits into "garden culture"
*stories of student growth
*dreaming big and starting small (with just a bucket of soil)
*cross-curricular connections
*empowering students by learning local
We also got into some good (bad?) gardening puns, a thorny story of cricket (the sport, not the insect), mystery tomatoes, and hobbits (!?!).
