Students practice gardening in extended school year program

The Warwick Valley Central School District’s Extended School Year program is in full swing this week as students have been learning to make s’mores, lanterns, and binoculars. Students planted sunflowers outside and immersed themselves in real-life experiences as gardeners. They coupled this experience with learning new vocabulary words about how to plant and how plants grow. They also performed occupational therapy exercises by pouring dirt and planting the seeds themselves.
