My Project

Our students have shown great enthusiasm for learning about the environment and the importance of sustainable practices. To further enhance their learning experience, we are planning a hands-on project where each student will have the opportunity to plant and care for their own small garden.

To successfully execute this project, we are in need of planting supplies such as soil, pots, seeds, and educational materials related to plant growth and care.

These supplies will not only facilitate our project but will also serve as valuable resources for ongoing learning in our classroom.
