When my students first saw the raised garden beds, they were filled with excitement and curiosity. They eagerly explored the soil, asked questions about what we would plant, and took pride in knowing this garden was created just for them. That initial moment of wonder quickly turned into motivation as students realized they would be responsible for caring for something real and meaningful.\r\n\r\nWe now use the garden as an extension of our classroom to teach important life skills alongside academic learning. Students work together to plant seeds, water the beds, pull weeds, and observe growth over time. These activities help build responsibility, patience, communication, and teamwork. For many of my students, especially those who benefit from hands-on learning, the garden has become a powerful tool for practicing following directions, taking turns, and staying engaged in a shared task. Seeing their efforts lead to visible growth has been incredibly rewarding and confidence-building.\r\n\r\nNext, our students will continue nurturing the plants as they grow, documenting changes through drawings, photos, and simple charts. We will also use the garden to talk about healthy choices, where food comes from, and how caring for our environment connects to caring for ourselves and others. Thanks to your generosity, my students are learning skills that extend far beyond the classroom. Thank you for helping them grow independence, responsibility, and pride through this project.","fullyFundedDate":1746785986927,"projectUrl":"project/growing-life-skills-with-raised-garden-b/9225947/","projectTitle":"Growing Life Skills with Raised Garden Beds!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Laci","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8788212_orig.png?crop=1080,1080,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1679625920266","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/miss-laci"},{"teacherId":8788212,"projectId":9225660,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for supporting our project, Growing Young Minds. When my students first saw the raised garden beds, their faces lit up with excitement and curiosity. They were eager to touch the soil, ask questions about what we would grow, and share stories about plants they had seen at home. These raised beds have transformed an outdoor space into an extension of our classroom, giving students a meaningful, hands-on way to learn through exploration.\r\n\r\nWe are using the garden as part of our daily learning across multiple subjects. Students help prepare the soil, plant seeds, water the garden, and observe changes over time. These activities support early science skills like making observations and predictions, while also building math skills through counting, measuring, and comparing growth. The garden has also become a powerful tool for language development as students practice new vocabulary and describe what they see, feel, and do. For many of my students, especially those who learn best through hands-on experiences, the garden has been incredibly engaging and motivating.\r\n\r\nNext, our students will continue caring for the plants as they grow, tracking changes with drawings, photos, and simple charts. We will harvest what we grow and use it as an opportunity to talk about healthy choices, where food comes from, and how to care for our environment. Thanks to your generosity, my students are not just learning about plants — they are developing responsibility, teamwork, and a deeper connection to the world around them.

Because of you, my students now have consistent access to printed learning materials that support hands-on instruction, creativity, and individualized learning. In our classroom, technology and printed resources work together—lessons often begin digitally, but true learning happens when students can touch, trace, cut, color, and interact with materials that are tailored specifically to their needs. Your support ensures that learning doesn't stop because we've run out of ink.\r\n\r\nThe most exciting part for my students is seeing their work come to life. Whether it's personalized literacy activities, math games, visual schedules, or fine-motor crafts, having fresh, clear materials helps students stay engaged and confident. Many of my students benefit from repetition and visual supports, and being able to print exactly what they need—when they need it—makes a tremendous difference in their understanding and independence.\r\n\r\nSeveral of my students have especially thrived with these resources, particularly those who need structured visuals and hands-on practice to succeed. Students who once struggled to attend to lessons are now eager to participate when they recognize materials made just for them.

The dresses gave them not just something to wear, but a sense of pride and belonging.\r\n\r\nThese dresses are now becoming part of our learning experience.
