Learning Outside The Bricks

Updating you on our progress here out in the yard!

We now have a “Meadow Garden” with over 75 new plants to feed and attract wildlife. Ms. Franklin’s third grade class has adopted the meadow for the fall to water and to watch.
They are making art about a specific plant to inform our other classes about the plants in our new garden.

This area will be for scientific observation as it will be a habitat for butterflies and other creatures. We have teamed up with parents, friends, neighbors and students from UVA and Jackson-Via to plan and plant this habitat area.
Come and see our progress, wander the path in the middle and measure the cherry trees which will produce lots to eat in the years to come!
