Study Group Plans
After students choose study groups, they spend about 5 weeks in those groups, studying one aspect of the farm in-depth. These study groups generally run from late October to late-November.

There are four study group in each classroom. Each teacher runs two study groups, and there are 5 students per study group. The study groups meet every afternoon Monday through Thursday. Twice a week, they meet with the teacher. The other two days, they have independent work to complete (usually a review of what they did the day before with a teacher). In this way, each teacher is working with one of their groups every day, and is supervising their other group from afar as they work independently. The details of what each group does on a daily basis are listed under the groups, below.


 * Bee Group
 * Fruits, Veggies, and Grains
