Cindy Friday
I am Cindy Friday, an elementary teacher in Fresno, California. In my blog greenschoolyard.wordpress.com, I write about using gardening to teach. This year I'm incorporating specialty crop taste testing into my fourth-grade classroom teaching, and participating in the Salmonids (Salmon & Trout) in the Classroom program.
