This week, I went on a field trip with my TE 401 science class to our very own MSU Children's Garden. What an awesome experience it was, not only because it is right here on campus, but because they have really put a lot of effort in making this field trip accessible to teachers online. Here is the website that is intended for classrooms, http://4hgarden.msu.edu/kidstour/flashnone.html.
Once you are on the site, the garden calendar will show the upcoming events that are happening at the garden. The virtual tour link is a great way to introduce students to the garden as well as a educational unit about plants, gardens, etc. There is even a link on the page for those who want to learn more about gardening which is a helpful resource to give parents, students, and families since that is something they could do together at home, either on the computer, or even in their back yard.
I really am enjoying finding out all the resources MSU has to offer educators. I hope to find more and share them with you all on here too!
