My Project

All of the students at my school visit me at the STEAM Center each week. They are excited, curious, and eager to jump into a new topic each month. By introducing a new topic each month, I am able to share many STEAM topics with the students and therefore help them begin to understand their interests at a young age.

We are requesting a hydroponics growing system, various seeds, and other gardening materials.

We are getting ready to start sowing seeds indoors for our outdoor school garden in order to get jump on spring growing. By doing so, the students will be rewarded with a spring harvest before the end of the school year. In addition, we will continue to sow seeds throughout the spring and summer to assure for a continuous harvest through the fall.
