Planting at Home!
At PPOS, we believe there is no better way to learn about healthy food choices than by growing our own food!
While embracing distance learning, we have tried to incorporate as much experiential learning into the new structure as possible by sending home a planter kit. Included inside the kit was everything necessary to start seeds in recycled planters including soil, containers, seeds, and an instructional guide.
Three weeks later, students are seeing their first sprouts and recording their observations of the lettuce, tomato, spinach, and pea plants growing in their window sills. Click here for more photos of our students showing off their sprouts!
