My Project

Hope you're having a super-duper day! We have something super cool we'd love to share with you, and we're hoping you can help us out.

You know how we love learning about plants and how they grow?

Well, we just found out about something called hydroponics, and it's like gardening but with a fun twist! Instead of soil, plants grow in water with special food that makes them super healthy and happy.

We've got this big idea to set up our very own hydroponic garden in our classroom. Picture it: green, leafy plants growing all around us, showing off their roots in the water, and reaching for the ceiling with their leaves. It's going to be so awesome!

We also need certain materials like mulch, weed preventer, spray bottles, tools, and turf to beautify our community garden. Our plan is to grow the seedlings in the hydroponic system and once they get big, we will transfer the plants to our community garden.
