Preschoolers
in room 71 at Lindbergh Schweitzer Elementary worked in pairs, planting
vegetables and flowers in their spring garden to discover first-hand
the benefits of eating healthy. The young 3-5 year old students are now
busy watering and watching the young plants grow. Soon, they will enjoy
sampling freshly picked lettuce, cucumbers and strawberries."The garden is a huge hit with the students," said proud teachers Phoebe Bishops and Tami Colo. "Healthy eating habits are part of the Extended Core Curriculum of Daily Living Skills provided for our blind and visually impaired students."
