**Testim****onials**:
 * “The curriculum connection is invaluable to me. It covers so many aspects of my curriculum. [School Sprouts] also is able to take any tie-ins that I have and relate them to our gardening lesson. If we are talking about shapes in math, [they] will talk about the shapes of our garden beds, if we’re learning about symmetry, we will examine veggies from the garden, and we always write in our journals about our gardening experience of the day. This will incorporate vocabulary, spelling, illustration, punctuation, and lots more! I also love that my class is able to take learning outside the classroom, respond to another teacher, get physical activity while learning, and that my children can teach others about what they have learned. ” **Second grade teacher, Williamsburg Schools** []
