The kids truly enjoy all of the lessons and are more engaged when we utilize the boards. And of course, every so often they leave me a sweet message on them before the class period is over.

We will plant in the indoor LED smart garden to start the seeds and watch them grow indoors for now. Since we now have seeds to plant, fertilizer, and garden tools this will be a fun project and will also teach how to grow indoors, as well as outside.\r\n\r\nAfter the garden is established, the plan for 2025-2026 is to raise chickens to live off our garden.
