My Project

Exemplary explorers, creative keiki, and future farmers- what do all these people have in common? The answer can be found in the hearts of students who are excited to explore the great outdoors and grow their knowledge in comfort.

My students are delightful learners who are ready to embrace learning challenges that nurture the gardeners within them.

They come from communities which reflect diverse backgrounds and economic levels. Our small school does not qualify for funding under Title I, and many families have faced economic and emotional hardships this year. Students are once again venturing out and seeking opportunities to learn in a hands-on, "plant-on" way.

Our young students will need the tools that empower them to seek environmental discoveries and inspire them to express that learning in a way that nurtures their creative side in comfort.

The plant pots, sprout pencils, garden rocks, seed starter, pouches, seedling heating mat, potting soil mix, and entrance mat will enhance efficiency as inspired students find ways to make their plants thrive. The art supplies and seat cushions will be a welcomed comfort as students find ways to creativity express what they are learning. They will be able to achieve a balance between nature and nurture in a way that allows them to grow emotionally and academically.
