The Knowing Garden

The Knowing Garden Community School News for 12/23/2020 -

Our mornings together have evolved into a self-directed period where everyone is managing their own time, learning, and space. Many topics of conversations arise, creating an opportunity for us to practice communication skills and styles. During these conversations, reflections are made, opinions are stated and knowledge is shared. #WhyWeTKG Books We’ve Loved This Week: The Shortest Day By Susan Cooper Making A Friend By Allison McGee ... Gingerbread Baby By Jan Brett Purchase these books via the link (in the comments) and #giveback to TKG. Your donations will help us replenish outdoor classroom materials!

Are you doing some holiday shopping? Buy your Shutterfly photo gifts via this link and support TKG with a % of your purchase directed to our fundraising. COVID has pushed us in to taking school outdoors and your donations will help us stock wipes, sanitizer, and mobility resources.

Engaged students, outdoors, safe distances, and hands-on...we can do this. If there is any time to rethink what works for your student, it is now! (This student lowered their mask in a stationary spot - safely distanced from the photographer. We strongly encourage mask-wearing.)

Breath in winter...breathe out beauty

This year, we took our Mask-a-Rave tradition...to the great outdoors! In years of before COVID, we would have a carnival with games, art, and play while featuring our masks and learning about cultures that are similar and different to our own - this year it was a simple and peaceful experience that also included masked and fully-remote students alike.
