Hey, Bud! How's it Growing?

Help me give my students garden tools, seeds and supplies to grow their own gardens as we study the life cycle of plants.

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

Our students are ready to develop their green thumbs by planting seeds and watching them grow on our new garden patio! By giving them the hands-on experience of planting seeds and caring for their own plants, our students will learn about the needs of plants, plant cycles, and environmental systems.

These materials will allow us to provide enriching opportunities for our youngest learners to take action and see their role in the environment.

What better way to engage their curiosity than watching their own garden grow from seed to plant!
