Planting the Seeds of Tomorrow: Earth Week in the Classroom!

Little Hands, Big Roots

What happens when you give a toddler a seed and a little bit of dirt? Magic! This Earth Week, we’re getting our hands messy as we dive into the science of gardening at our Roosevelt Elementary garden plot. From practicing fine motor skills with seedling starters to exploring the "good" microbes in the soil, our students are discovering that they have the power to grow something beautiful.

Read our latest post to explore the research-backed benefits of "nature play," learn about the special visitors arriving for our metamorphosis study, and see how you can join our TerraCycle mission to keep our local San Leandro community green. Plus, we’ve shared three simple, toddler-friendly eco-projects you can do at home this weekend!
