My Students

My inquisitive afterschool group of students, grade 3 through grade 5, enjoy exploring the gardens around our school. They love observing the insects, growing plants from seeds and cuttings, and then caring for the plants. They love getting their hands dirty and would love to do more!

These students are so excited about gardening that they come in during recess to take care of the plants we have around our classroom - inside and out!

They all find gardening so much fun and get excited when we make a small snack from ingredients that they can grow!

My Project

Every Thursday, our garden club gets together after school to work in the gardens around our school. The students weed areas, water the plants, grow seeds and cuttings, observe the insects and plants grow! They have so many questions and wonderings about what they observe. This garden club provides students with the opportunity to learn about their environment and what plants need, and develop skills in gardening.

The materials I chose will help the students to be able to do more in the garden.

It will help them be more productive in the time they have. Right now they only have gloves and a few broken tools.
