"Harvesting Excellence" is a cross-curricular garden project designed by Felske for third graders at Washington Elementary School. Students will learn how to maintain a garden from planting seeds to selling produce. The experience will teach students how to grow their own food and offer information to maintain a healthy lifestyle. During the spring, students will research garden options and plant desired crops. Over the summer, Felske will maintain the garden and document its growth using a digital camera. When school begins in August, a new class of third graders will assist with the garden and will be responsible for selling the harvest to encourage the use of mathematical skills. Finally, students will dry out seeds and replant the garden in May in preparation for a new third grade class. Felske resides in Tiffin.
