[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The "garden" referenced in the earlier post should have been the "nature garden", which I understand is important to Reggio, but is yet to be much of a resource for the elementary students.

Maybe student government is too strong. How about "civic engagement", such as safety patrol or making morning announcements?

Which class has gone to the NE library for research or to check out books? Why? The librarian is outstanding -- she should be given more resources and not have to scrounge money from book sales. If the hoped-for library renovation occurred, somehow books would magically appear to fill the doubled space. Why wait?[/quote]

It sounds as if you want a more "traditional" setting than Reggio. Both Ludlow-Taylor and Watkins emphasize citizenship and also have gardens, the Watkins garden being one of the most established on the Hill. The FoodPrints program started there as well and both are integrated into the project-based learning. Neither has the "feel" of SWS for sure. I've had kids at SWS and Watkins, and been involved in L-T some through a community group so have some limited basis to compare. [/quote]
