Solar Growth

Help me give my students seeds, soil, and plastic pots to grow plants.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Sergeant's classroom raised $200

My Project

My students are curious six and seven year old's who love anything hands-on.

I want to help them understand climate change by doing activities to stimulate their creativity.

My project will allow my students to plant and care for seedlings as we learn about the necessity of plants in our ecosystem.

This potting soil and seeds will allow each child to grow seeds in our classroom. The students will watch the seedlings grow until they can plant them outside. We will also plant trees around our school building.

I really believe children learn by doing and this project will be their work in action.
