Do you have an incredible Lesson Plan that you would like to share with the rest of the LGT Teachers?  We would like to begin collecting lesson plans for LGT Teachers from LGT Teachers and have an amazing unveiling of them at the Teachers Workshop in 2010.  We will also post them on the website as soon as they become available to us (ie: you send them in!)

Please submit your lesson plans in a style that is easy to follow.  If possible, please include:

1. Your Name and School
2. Appropriate Grade Level
3. Objectives achieved with this lesson plan
4. Subjects covered
5. Materials required
6. Additional Resources (if available)
7. Lesson Instructions and Teacher Background info
8. Other information

Submit your Lesson Plans by June 1st, 2010 to be entered in the contest to win some wonderful AITC and LGT swag. You will recieve one entry into a draw per lesson plan submitted, and a draw will take place on June 3rd, 2010.

As Christmas is fast approaching, the Little Green Thumbs must add a few more things to the list of preparations before the holidays. In order to have a great garden growing when you return please ensure that the following checklist is taken care of prior to the last day of classes:

1. Ensure that all of your seedlings have been transplanted into the self-watering containers- they will dry out very quickly if you don’t!
2. Collect a 2 week supply of food for your worms and bury it deep at the bottom of the bins covered by paper and soil.  They will be just fine munching away over the break.
3. Fill your self-watering containers with water and remember to fertilize.
4. Prune and stake plants that will grow large over the holiday.
5. Speak with your custodian to ensure the power will be on during the holiday.
6. Double check your timer to make sure it is working while you will be away.

Last but not least, prepare to have the best holiday season yet!

Happy Holidays
