Edible Schoolyard

What a great opportunity for these young minds at the Edible Schoolyard - one of the best project-based learning examples I have seen. Students literally getting their hands “dirty” and experiencing how the life-cycle of growing, harvesting, and eating (along with the responsibilities of taking care of the environment) does a great job of demonstrating how exciting learning can be. Additionally, these students are gaining life-skills they will most likely refer to as they grow and lead product lives. Congratulations to the MLK Middle School students, staff and administration for paving the way in productive project-based learning.
