Ogema Elementary had a Monday FUNday in the gym yesterday to celebrate our final week of school. We had a variety of games and activities for all the kids to enjoy, including traditional Ojibwe games, tattoos, and PLINKO, to name just a few! Every student received a few different prizes for participating and we ended with sno-cones (thank you to the PTSO!) :) There were LOTS of smiles and fun had by all!
Students from ECFE through 12th grade had the opportunity to plant six different seeds (Miiniikaan): Dragon Tongue Beans, Prebohaty Peas, Cilantro, Flat Leaf Parsley, Genovese Basil, and Salad Bowl Green Loose Leaf Lettuce. This initiative is in partnership with WETCC Extension, White Earth Nation Tribal Public Health, and supported by the Tribal Statewide Health Improvement Partnership grant from the Minnesota Department of Health. It aims to cultivate not just plants, but also young minds.

Here is some information about the different plants that students had the opportunity to plant. There is also some great information on seed saving. Enjoy!!
Gardening is more than just a hobby; it’s a powerful tool for children’s literacy development. As they engage in hands-on activities like planting, watering, and observing plant growth, students naturally develop essential literacy skills. From reading seed packets and plant labels to writing about their gardening experiences, every step in the garden nurtures their language and communication abilities. Gardening also fosters a deeper connection with nature, instilling a sense of wonder and curiosity that fuels their imagination and creativity. Through Kids in the Garden Intuitive, we sow the seeds of knowledge and literacy, nurturing a generation that thrives in both nature and learning.
