How effective was this kit in promoting healthy eating in your classroom?

In what ways did this kit give opportunity for cross-curricular learning? Students learnt about the characteristics of a living thing (MRS GREN) as part of their science unit and I used this as a task for their little garden league member tests. They also enjoyed writing their application letters to headquarters.

What future learning opportunities have arisen from this kit? We can build on this knowledge and learning by cooking using vegetables and learning more about what plants require to survive.

In what ways has this kit improved students awareness of nutrition and healthy eating? Some of the students talked about veges that they had tried at home and discussed planting gardens however, I am not sure if there were any significant changes to their diet.

“This was a great kit the children really enjoyed the story about the little garden league and took on responsibility for caring for their plants.”
