Spanish in the garden

The Spanish after school program operated by World of Spanish LLC, was inspired from our school garden, so they dedicated two lessons to "El Jardin de Vegetales - The Vegetable Garden ".
One lesson was indoor due to bad weather and the kids where introduced to vegetable names. During the second lesson they visited the garden and plant some veggie seeds in pots for the kids to bring home. Hopefully families will be inspired to plant a garden in their back yard. The kids of course enjoyed the outdoor hands-on activity in a beautiful sunny and fresh day. They learned many words related to the garden and the produce like "espinacas - spinach, tomates - tomatoes, lechuga - lettuce, albahaca - basil, berenjena -eggplants, etc. Thank SeƱora Kika for the nice lesson.




A garden can connect cultures and teach kids that there are some basic things shared by humanity, no matter what language we speak and from where we came from.
