At Mount Madonna School (MMS), preschool, kindergarten and second grade students have been learning a lot about where food comes from and recently had an engaging hands-on field trip to Live Earth Farm in Corralitos.
‘Through time spent outdoors in forests, gardens and meadows, a strong connection to, and reverence for, nature is forged,’ observed Hema Walker, MMS preschool/kindergarten teacher. ‘Where do the things that we need to live come from? From the Earth, of course! Through story, song, baking, art and hands-on experiences such as visiting a working organic farm, a sense of gratitude flourishes in the children and they come to understand our essential role as stewards and caretakers of the Earth.’
