I found this program to be a wonderful SEL resource for elementary students. It presented the information in an age-appropriate and engaging way. My students loved the origami foxes as well as the online resources, especially the "You Are a Gardener" videos. I look forward to using the many ideas and resources from this program for years to come! Thank you, Shanna!
