My Project

My Pre k students are extremely curious about the world! They’d love to see the life cycle of beautiful butterflies. While they patiently wait, they’d love to be able to participate in activities that will foster their love of nature and taking care of insects and plants! What better way to observe nature than by creating a garden maze, with a raised garden bed, that will engage them with short, impactful interactive activities that help them practice newly learned skills about our earth! Help us create activities that will teach math, reading, art, and science!
