Rise Up Little Seed

My students need three aerogradens to learn and observe how plants grow.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Lee's classroom raised $366

This project is fully funded

My Students

What better way to learn about how plants grow, than with an Aerogarden? Seeds will grow so much faster that my students will want to try vegetables! How amazing.

My students are learning about ponds and how animals and plants co-exist with each other.

As with all children, they will learn and be able to understand concepts when they can visualize lessons and concepts up close and personal. My students have been watching trout grow from eggs. They have learned how the trout swims and looks for food as well as using their environment to help them stay safe.

My Project

My students have learned about seeds growing when we learned about apple trees and pumpkin patches. We are now going to learn how plants can grow indoors. They will literally witness seeds growing overnight. The seeds will be germinating at a much faster rate with the three AeroGarden. Little children have very little patience and want to see everything right away. These AeroGardens will provide learning at a much faster rate. It will help keep their attention and pique their interest as they are learning about plants. We will plant seeds the traditional way with pots and soil and compare the growth with the seeds growing in the AeroGarden.

Your help and donation will make science come alive for my students.

I won't have to tell my students soon because that soon would be in about 48 hours. They will love to see the daily growth of the seeds and hopefully want to try eating greens!
