My Project

My students are very curious and enjoy hands-on learning. They love to play in dirt, pick flowers, and watch birds fly, but they do not understand the how and why behind these beautiful things.

Help me give my students the hands-on tools needed to learn about plant and animal reproduction.

We will use the planters and all the supplies to learn about germination and the things plants need to survive. The bird feeders and seeds will attract birds to our garden so they may live in our birdhouses and help us learn about how birds reproduce, grow, and survive.

We love to learn and these materials will help my students create hands-on learning that will last a lifetime!
