My Project

Our school is a special place with a deep history centered on Aina, and we are raising up our youngest children to be caretakers and protectors of the land, starting with a unit on planting/gardening. The raised garden beds, soil, and grow bags will give children the space and experience to plant seeds and nurture plants in our play yard. As we grow to be caretakers and protectors of the land, it is also crucial that we grow in our creative expression and problem-solving skills. The large paper and paint will give children materials to explore, create, and become all they can be!
