My Project

Let's face the facts. Kids learn best when given opportunities to participate in engaging, hands-on, and fun projects. This project is intended to enhance our expanding classroom grow station. Last year, we added grow stands and grow lights. This year, we would love to add these requested seed trays.

If funded, we will have enough supplies for all of our students to complete our upcoming unit in groups of 2-3, instead of groups of 6-8.

This is a huge advantage as I will have the ability to work with students one-on-one. A great way to support our earliest learners.

If you are able to help with a small donation our classroom would truly appreciate it! Donations from community members, local businesses, and people like you make teaching fun! I look forward to sharing lots of exciting pictures once our supplies begin to arrive. Thanks!
