Dig into at-home learning activities with the Garnet Valley High School Big Jags
We may not be able to share our time together in the classroom during COVID19 restrictions, but we can share and explore the great outdoor classroom through online gatherings. And now more than ever, we all could use a little fresh air and sunshine to rejuvenate our spirits. So come along and join the Garnet Valley High School Big Jags with inquiry based learning activities coupled with the true Little Jag traditions we've come to know and love for so many years.

Little Jags' Growing Gardeners - Using the Great Outdoors as our Common Classroom (Scotts Miracle Grow)
1
Learning, though not always visible, is always happening. The lessons are designed using inquiry as a base. Rather than “right answers” be more concerned with asking good questions.
2
Things may not go as planned. The lessons are designed to be used in whatever way works best for you. You can use all of the lesson or just pull a piece out of it.
3
Planting and cultivating a garden is believing in possibility. The lessons are designed to generate excitement about the future.
4
Each lesson includes a way to take the learning out into the community for more learning and more connection.
5
When a young child’s innate curiosity is unleashed in a garden the possibilities are endless. Any topic is open for exploration.
6
You will get dirty. There will be bugs.
