The garden serves as a sensory-rich environment where students can touch, smell, and see the plants grow, enhancing their cognitive and sensory development. It fosters responsibility as students take ownership of watering, weeding, and harvesting, helping them build independence and confidence. The process of planting and tending to the garden also reinforces academic concepts, such as counting seeds, measuring plant growth, and understanding the life cycle of plants. Social skills have improved as students work together, practice communication, and collaborate on tasks. The calming nature of gardening has been beneficial for students who struggle with emotional regulation, providing a peaceful activity that reduces stress and increases focus. Additionally, students take pride in seeing the results of their efforts, boosting self-esteem and motivation. The garden has created opportunities for real-world learning, encouraging healthier eating habits and fostering an appreciation for nature. Overall, the student garden has enriched our special education class by supporting academic, social, and emotional growth in a fun and interactive way.","fullyFundedDate":1719855182173,"projectUrl":"project/student-garden/8438689/","projectTitle":"Student Garden","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Starke","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-6_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8836831"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_121013","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":528,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":36,"percentAsian":13,"percentBlack":10,"percentWhite":14,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":51,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":71.8,"schoolId":121013,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Falcon Ridge Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Falcon Ridge Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/etiwanda-school-district/falcon-ridge-elementary-opens-fall-2017-/121013"}
