Seeds of Change - Learning from the Garden (Paperback)

The profound cultural impact of Columbus's crossing is vividly brought to life in this multicultural, interdisciplinary celebration in which the Old World meets the New World and science meets social studies. Combining cultural activities with a year of gardening activities and recipes for enjoying the bounty, this unique book helps youngsters learn the origins of the foods we eat. Children also explore how Columbus's voyages influenced the diets, cuisines, and ethnic composition of our world. Teachers may focus on the cultural activities or on the gardening activities and use either to complement theme units or integrate both into a year-round program. Full instructions with illustrations for each of the 46 activities are included.
