March is always Gardening month in the Beginner’s Class. Our class is lucky enough to have a wonderful garden area adjacent to the building. The gardening unit is a great sensorial unit for the students. Each student plants 6 flowers, which he/she cares for during March and April. Each student also brings herbs to plant, which the class uses as a whole. The students mulch the garden, water the flowers, release ladybird beetles (to act as natural defenders), have an earthworm check, and arrange cuttings in the classroom during the unit study. Below are pictures from our Planting Day, a favorite day of the year!
