Garden Unit: Day 3 Benefits to Gardening

Wednesday- Benefits to Gardening

            Day 3 consists of learning the benefits of gardening in a lecture style format.  The lecture and activities took an hour longer then I had planned.  My son had a lot of information that he wanted to say, and as long as he was interested in it, I wouldn’t stop him from continuing. We first discussed the more obvious benefits to a home garden.  This is the information that he came up with:

·      Food, we can eat (most obvious)

·      Spend time outdoors

·      Learn responsibility and hard work

·      Extra food can be donated to the poor

·     

Hello everyone,

I am excited to share our journey into homeschooling.  I will be contributing many posts in the near future and will continue to post once weekly, if not daily.  If you have any suggestions, concerns, or comments, please feel free to contact me.  Thank you and have a wonderful day!
