Understanding exploration of living things:

Through a “hands-on” approach to the natural world students will learn to care for plants and their growth, view and explore the orchard and pumpkin patch, and enjoy new experiences while having FUN at the same time!

Grade 1-3

Understanding Life Systems:

Students will learn needs and characteristics of living things, study the apple tree, pumpkin plant, air, water, soil and food to help living things grow, changes in the plant as they thrive, and the importance of the bee in the pollination of flowers.
