My Students

Watching and learning how things grow is a natural curiosity for all Kindergarteners. My students are just starting on their journey to nurture and grow this curiosity that will sustain their learning throughout the rest of their lives.

I have two sessions of Kindergarten students that I see everyday.

They are very hands-on learners and extremely curious about anything and everything around them. Most are very involved in their communities. They attend a school with many great resources and these things will only add to their learning.

My Project

My students need these materials (root vue farms, root vue accessory kits and a stick on pocket chart) to learn about the new science core about how plants grow. Getting these materials will greatly enhance their understanding of how plants grow because my students need to physically see how things work. The more hands on the better. My students will be able to see AND touch the plant growing cycle. They will be able to move the pieces of the pocket chart along with predict what a plant needs to grow and how it grows.

This is so important to my students and our classroom because this is new to our grade.

They are needed to prepare and create a love of earth science in each and everyone of my students!
