My Students

There is nothing more exciting than learning in a "hands-on" way...this science adventure will encourage students to connect with their environment while they learn about science with their 4th grade buddies.

My students have been paired up with a 4th grade class as a mentoring program.

We read, write and do math activities together currently one day per week. I would love to open the door to "hands-on" learning outside with these classes. What a great opportunity the children will have to discover science outside the classroom.

My Project

Currently we have a gated area with a shed available to us for this "garden" opportunity. We would like to clean up and assemble raised plant beds for vegetable and herb growing. We would like the students and community members to help us to prep and maintain the garden to be used yearly. The supplies are the large ticket items needed to get us started: garden tools, 4 raised planter beds and a wheelbarrow. The raised beds will help us to keep the gardens "weed free." The 4 beds will help us to expand the garden to the 4 classes with 4th grade buddies in our building.

Disney is offering a great opportunity for us to make science "hands-on" and edible for the 4th grade mentors to our kindergarten students.

Not only will it define a beautiful space but it will provide herbs and food resources. Vegetables and herbs for cafeteria lunches and classroom created healthy treats! Please consider this project for funding! 2, 4, 6, 8 our donors are GREAT!
