FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Stansbury's classroom raised $225

My Project

My students have recently discovered activity books. They have been sharing with their class their enthusiasm for the activity and have loads to say about the excellent writing and information in similar books from Capstone Publishing. This collection of Pebble Maker Grow books and companion titles will expand our offering of activity books. Even better, students will learn how easy it is to plant and grow food.

Help us add Pebble Maker Grow books so we can go green, grow our own food, and become stronger readers as we dive into these climate and environmental activity books focused on gardening.

It will be easy to add a few garden pots to our outdoor courtyard near the library. Students will have a chance to grow food at our school. Hopefully, it will spark some environmental awareness and get kids reading all about gardening too.
