The Lily Pads are learning about plants throughout the day, and have already started some classroom planting projects. During a recent science class, the students were presented with earthworms and some diagrams that explain how earthworms help plants. The students then suggested that we could put the earthworms in our planters to help the plants, so we did. This was the design of the lesson from the outset, but a cornerstone of our program is to allow students to think of their own ideas and act on them. As teachers, our goal is to guide and support rather than to decide and dictate what the students are learning, particularly in our younger rooms.
