Help me give my students needed materials to learn all about the plant life cycle.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Carroll's classroom raised $551

My Project

In first grade, we love learning about plants. This project will help me teach the plant life cycle in a fun and exciting way.

These materials will allow each student to plant their own seeds to take flowers home and grow some in our classroom flower bed.

Students will love watching the plants grow in front of their eyes. They will also gain lots of knowledge about the plant life cycle with the books and other supplemental materials such as the life cycle magnets for the whiteboard. Thank you for helping our little scientist!
