My Project

I recently found a passion for plants, and I am amazed with the patience, pleasure, and peace that they have brought me when I am home with them! Their ability to brighten and liven up any space is mesmerizing.

I would love nothing more than to spread the joy of plants with my students, classroom, and school!

Not only would this teach students important care-taking skills, it also aligns with one of the third grade science units - life cycles and survival. The project supplies would allow students to observe how a plant is able to regenerate (birth) and understand its needs for survival (growth). Eventually, through propagation (reproduction), students could take a new plant home to continue this process on their own. Your support would provide current and future students with memories and plants to last a lifetime!
