My Project

Every year after spring break my ESOL students study life cycles. We do life cycle, roots, plants, caterpillars and ladybugs. The would be beyond thrilled to keep a plant journal and three times a week watch their seeds grow! I have a classroom without a window and this aerogarden would be amazing for my students. I have grades K-5 and a total of 42 students. All of them love to learn about life cycles in science.

They would be so grateful to be able to see and not just learn about how seeds grow.

Thank you for considering us!!!
