Thinking about learning garden

 The first point that made me stop and think was the last goal in the first paragraph of the article, "a deeper relationship with the more-than-human world." This point was the least likely of all the goals to occur to me. But as I thought about it through my class time in the garden, I could not agree more and appreciate this goal. After getting used to relationships and connections with society and people, it can be difficult to think about the deeper relationship between people and the land, and people and nature. Through learning in the garden, the students can let themselves in a "more-than-human" world and have a deeper relationship with nature.  I believe this will not only prompt them to think about the deeper relationship between humans and nature but also to be influenced to think about the relationship between humans and people and society in nature. As well, I agree with the article "The Importance of multi-level collaboration and integration". Learning a single subject can be boring, but integrating knowledge and culture from different subjects in the garden can be very helpful. Appreciating the beauty and introducing knowledge at the same time, this will greatly increase the students' interest in learning and deepen their memory of all the integrated knowledge.

In Maths, in the garden I could teach students to measure the angle of their arm through a 90-degree angle and then the angle of the sun's ray as we learned in class. I feel that this greatly enhances the students' interest in learning allowing them to have fun learning in a new environment. The difficulty is that it's hard for students to pay attention (Maybe get caught up in the garden) and the way I can think of to overcome this is to use music to draw them back into the classroom, as Susan has done:)
