Gifted and Talented Students Grow Vegetables

Gifted and talented students in Sue Koch's and Niki Linclon's classes are growing vegetable gardens this year.  After studying Thomas Jefferson and his gardening techniques and researching plants that grow during the fall in Alabama, students planted, tend, and keep data on their own gardens here at Paine Intermediate. 

Third graders skyped with Sarah Koch from DIG to learn about gardening in Africa.  To see part of the interview, click on the link below.

  2. This has been such a wonderful unit of study for our GaTE students. The students are so interested and engaged in planting, harvesting, and keeping data on their plants. I enjoyed the delicious pesto the students made yesterday!
