My Project

My students are curious, creative, and full of wonder about the world around them. This project will help us dig into science and sustainability in fun, hands-on ways!

With a grow light, seed trays, and a butterfly kit, we'll explore life cycles right in our classroom.

A paper-making kit, reusable tote bags, and fabric markers will teach us to reduce, reuse, and recycle creatively.

Paired with inspiring read-alouds and science journals, these materials will spark curiosity, build knowledge, and help my students become thoughtful stewards of the Earth—one seed, story, and science moment at a time!
