Lift For Life Academy is starting project-based learning as early as elementary school through the “Our Planet” program. As part of “Our Planet” classes, LFLA has a robust, overflowing garden of vegetables and a coop full of chickens. Ms. Rachel Hazen teaches students from kindergarten through 4th grade how our planet Earth works to create and sustain life; how to harvest vegetables like ears of corn, peppers, and tomatoes from LFLA gardens; and how to collect the eggs from our chickens. Using these crops, students in 2nd grade followed a recipe to create “egg muffins.” Through lessons like this, Ms. Hazen is teaching students how to make more connections with the world around them, generating a deep understanding of — and appreciation for — science. |
