They were fascinated from day one, eagerly assembling the garden and planting our first seeds. Within days, we saw sprouts reaching toward the grow lights, and the excitement was contagious. Students began asking questions about nutrients, water cycles, and so much more!\r\n\r\nThis project transformed our classroom into a living laboratory. Students took ownership of the garden— adjusting light cycles and recording plant growth daily. They learned firsthand how science, math, and environmental studies come together in real life. Many of them began to understand their role in the ecosystem and expressed how \"cool\" it would be to grow their own food someday.\r\n\r\nFor some of my students, this was their first experience watching something they planted grow. That sense of pride and connection to nature is something I can't teach from a textbook—it had to be experienced.\r\n\r\nThank you for giving my students the chance to get their hands dirty (well, kind of!) while growing knowledge, confidence, and curiosity. Your kindness has planted seeds that will continue to grow far beyond our classroom walls.","fullyFundedDate":1737468666809,"projectUrl":"project/grants-for-great-ideas-hydroponics-ecos/9028870/","projectTitle":"Grants For Great Ideas (Hydroponics-Ecosystems in the Classroom)","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Thompson","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp4497690_orig.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1751602679810","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/4497690"},{"teacherId":4497690,"projectId":9027575,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous support of our classroom project, \"Grants for Great Ideas (Owl Pellets)\".
