Annmarie Ragucci, our speech teacher at 993Q, reports:
Our students picked two bags of veggies and herbs from the local library (where they have been working). They gave them to me and today we made a lesson out of it. We made a garden salad and put it on our speech delivery cart.
Students worked on initiating, maintaining, and terminating a conversation. They told teachers that the salad was a product of their gardening work all year.
 Welcome back to another year of gardening, growing, dirt, worms (but not fried!), and all good things. Let us know what is doing by you this year and we will post your pix on the site.
In the meantime, perhaps you are interested in viewing a cooking demonstration in the White House with the leader of Let’s Move, courtesy of Discovery Education. Wednesday October 29, 2014.
Some of the produce from the garden. We did some cooking. Veggie pizzas with herbs, fresh salad, etc… They are learning to cook simple fresh meals.

This just in from JaneGoodall’s “Roots & Shoots” group (say that three times fast):
How to Apply for a Roots & Shoots Grant
1) Free Professional Development Course
The first step in the process is for your coaches and teachers to sign up for the professional development course offered by Roots & Shoots! The course is completely free, open to everyone (educator or not), and is online – so can be taken anywhere/ any time. Course starts July 7th at https://rootsandshoots.org/roots-shoots-online-course
2) Mini-Grants
Once the educators complete the course, NYC-based educators are eligible for mini-grants of $200 ($350 for animal-related projects) to support their students in implementing community-based projects.
3) In addition to the professional development course and mini-grants, we are working on offering NYC educators further support in the form of:
- In-person support and events to network and connect with Roots & Shoots staff
- In-class presentations by Roots & Shoots staff to engage students and help guide them to identify their service learning campaign ideas
- Opportunities to connect with Roots & Shoots community collaborators to support your service learning campaign
Multiple teachers from one school site are all welcome to register. Each registrant will be eligible for their own small community grant.
