Help me give my students a sustainable outdoor classroom experience by giving students the responsibility to care for live plants and animals and see the interdependence relationships in aquaponics. Please also help nurture my students love for reading.

My Project
Our small school is located in the valley of Waiahole on the island of O'ahu in Hawai'i. Our community is full of knowledgable farmers and families who live a sustainable life on their land. This year we have worked closely with a lot of the community members to teach the kids about the importance of sustainability, and why so many of these families have advocated to keeping their valley country, stopping many attempts of development. They were able to have hands on experience working on farms, learning about their way of life, and how they themselves can do it as well. I would like to incorporate that in our classroom as well. My students have also been into doing book clubs so I wanted to have more sets of appropriate chapter books for my students to read together.
More than half of students from low‑income households
