My Project

Studies indicate that being around natural scenes such as gardens evokes positive feelings, improved self-esteem, increased attention and interest in activities, development of accessible environmental coping skills, blocking and reducing stress and stressful thoughts, and the reducing of negative emotions.

Outdoor learning in the garden has proven benefits for the mental and physical health of our children.

Having periods of learning away from devices and screens, in the fresh air, can be done year-round on our beautiful island of Hawaii. Kindergarteners love and need hands-on learning activities and garden activities are perfect for students to work and problem-solve using their hands.

Students use stem skills to construct planter boxes. The students decide how much mulch and soil is needed for each box and why those materials are needed. They research what types of plants our local butterflies feed and lay eggs on. They watch the butterfly life cycle live and in-person providing countless opportunities for science, reading, writing, art, social studies, and math applications to occur.
