My students need to learn through hands-on exploration and therefore will benefit through horticulture with the use of a greenhouse.

My Students
The students at our school thrive to learn. We are a Title I school, which means a majority of the students that attend come from a poverty-stricken family. Many of the parents work 2 or more jobs; therefore there is minimal parent involvement.
I want to support the students' eagerness to learn, and thus why am writing this proposal to enhance and grow our anticipated new S.T.R.E.A.M.
Program through science and engineering. Students will operate the greenhouse and learn valuable life skills.
My Project
Our school is beginning its S.T.R.E.A.M. (Science, Technology, Reading, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) Program in the 2016-2017 school year. I will be teaching the S.T.E.M. Program component of S.T.R.E.A.M. My plan is to teach through hands-on investigation, exploration, and trial and error. I believe that knowledge is power and if children, at an early age, are exposed to Science and Technology, they will thrive and be prosperous.
With your help, I would love to implement a horticulture program for the students of our school.
The students will operate the requested greenhouse and will learn about planting and farming through instruction and exploration.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
