Science and Organization

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Graham's classroom raised $302

This project is fully funded

My Project

My goal is to have student take a hands-on approach to their science learning. Many of my students have never experienced growing plants and do not understand that time and patience go into cultivating life.

I want to give my students the opportunity to find a new hobby and interest with something that they can continue on for the rest of their life.

This year we have grown crystals, studied the life cycle of a pumpkin, introduced the topic of soil health, and much more.

I love how curious my students are, and I want to encourage that even more!
