My Project

There is nothing more fun for young learners than learning by doing!

Instead of just reading about life cycles in books, my students need to literally get their hands dirty and plant seeds to learn about plant parts and life cycles.

Different types of planters, multiple varieties of seeds, soil, and gardening gloves will help each child leave school with their own plants and gloves.

Help integrate reading, science, and more into a hands on learning activity we can do multiple times in the school year, based on when the seeds we are planting mature. We can't wait to watch our seeds grow!
