This program incorporates our current International Baccalaureate Primary Years Program (IB PYP) transdisciplinary unit with our Sage Garden Nutrition program and will allow us to further demonstrate both the choose-act-reflect cycle and giving students voice, choice and agency by completing several projects throughout the year at every grade level that highlight Art, Math and Science. This grant will enable us to: 1) fund additional science instruction time to enhance and extend current science, garden and nutrition lessons; 2) fund additional instruction to support the creation of a cookbook and a blog/website that features the entire program and showcases student voices and projects; 3) additional funding to support science and engineering practices as students build and create to support our garden program; 4) funding to support an after school culinary arts program that not only extend our students' learning, but also expose them to the possible career paths in culinary arts.

(It will begin after winter break and end at the last week of school.) STEAM Project Occurence:* How many times a year, month or week will this STEAM project occur? Please list the days and/or months and times. The program runs weekly. Every classroom currently has one 45 minute lesson one time per week. With this grant, the students could meet 2x per week and after school. STEAM Project Description:* What makes this a "STEAM" Project? For example, to utilize art skills/knowledge students will be able to use photography, layout, font, design elements and writing as they develop and maintain a website/blog of the garden, composting and chickens. In addition, students will be creating a cookbook to sell to the community. Art will support the design and graphics of the cookbook. During the nutrition lessons, students learn about the aesthetics of a garden, the art of companion planting and how to plate a meal and set a table. Students will have the opportunity to create a cookbook with recipes they have curated and tried using produce from our garden and the skills learned in the nutrition portion of the lessons. Students will take a culinary arts after school program where they will further learn cooking skills as well as the career opportunities in culinary arts. Students will share their knowledge of the science of composting and sustainability by creating public service announcements, and experimenting with how plants grow best, which plants are self sustainable. Water conservation is explored through the International Baccalaureate units and students will create ways to capture water and effectively use water through rain grates and bioswales. Students will use additional science lessons to understand the science behind nutrition for example studying glycemic index in foods. Math will be explored as students cook and measure, work on a business proposal for the cookbook and farmers market and study supply and demand. Science and engineering practices will be utilized as students help create structure to support our chicken coop area, make our garden area more aesthetically pleasing and provide natural habitats for the area wildlife and pollinators.
