Our First Harvest/Nuestra Primera Cosecha: A Garden-Based Early Childhood Curriculum
After years of teaching children ages three- to five-years-old, City Blossoms has published Our First Harvest/Nuestra Primera Cosecha, a bilingual, year-round curriculum consisting of 30 garden-related lessons plus all kinds of resources and helpful hints. Fun and playful, this book is designed to work for learning centers just starting to explore gardening to schools with established green spaces.
In this curriculum, City Blossoms, a nonprofit organization dedicated to kid-driven, community engaging, creative green spaces, has shared their knowledge from years of experience to empower early-childhood educators in helping children build caring relationships with the world around them. This bilingual (Spanish/English) book is a collection of 30 activities, hints learned along the way, and resources for both new and experienced teachers. These lessons are designed to be easily accessible and flexible to accommodate many types of green spaces--whether it is a garden or a few potted plants.
Lessons align with typical educational standards and investigate subjects including:
- Observing plant life cycles
- Learning about insects and their roles in a garden
- Creating nature-inspired artwork
- Making garden-inspired recipes
This book is bound with a convenient coil binding for easy manipulation by teachers.
