Rocks of Hope: A Garden of Kindness

Help me give my students the opportunity to cultivate kindness, empathy, and community support through a hands-on gardening project that encourages collaboration and social-emotional learning.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Wall's classroom raised $522

This project is fully funded

My Project

Students will create kindness rocks as tangible symbols of positivity and empathy. Through decorating and placing these rocks, they will engage in a hands-on activity that reinforces social-emotional learning and fosters community spirit. Our goal is to promote kindness, creating an environment where it is actively practiced and celebrated.

As students collaborate on this project, they will develop skills in cooperation, patience, and understanding, appreciating the efforts and perspectives of their peers.

Community discussions will also allow students to explore the experiences of those facing food scarcity, deepening their empathy and highlighting the importance of support. The painted rocks will be shared throughout the community, while the vegetables and flowers grown in the garden will be donated to those in need, brightening their day and nurturing a spirit of giving.
