Beautiful garden! Way to Grow Ms. Penney and class.
Our friends in Grades 2/3 class have been busy growing plants—and curiosity! From tiny seeds to leafy greens, these young gardeners are learning patience, science, and the joy of watching life sprout! @littlegrnthumbs @AITCNL @bishopwhiteNL

Last week, our #GCAggie colleagues inspired the next crop of #CdnAg researchers at St. Bernard’s Elementary School in Witless Bay, #NL, with @AITCNL for #CdnAgDay.

Handing over the management of the garden to students can reap benefits in terms of confidence, self-esteem and an enhanced perception of their abilities. Imagine the emotions a child might encounter taking care of a plant for the first time, watching it grow, from seed to plant.

WOW! Amazing. Way to grow LGTs.
Students are so excited to see all the flowers on the cucumbers, and fascinated with how they wrap around everything-even a staple on the bulletin board! 😂 @NLSchoolsCA @bishopwhiteNL @littlegrnthumbs
