I Can Grow That!
Funded Oct 30, 2023Thank you for allowing me to share my love of gardening and growing plants with parents and students at my school. As you can see by the photos I have shared, we had some really excited parents and students planting seeds.
When finished with breakfast, pre-k students collected plastic cereal containers to reuse as planters. The Donor's Choose grant provided additional materials including soil, seed starter, and seeds for the planting project. The pre-k students put 3-4 into small zip-top bags to make it easier for gardeners to select the kind of seeds they wanted to plant.
During our school's Family Market Night families had the opportunity to join a variety of activities. This month we provided an awesome opportunity for families to plant seeds of their choice. Our new gardeners filled their planters with moist soil, topped it off with seed starter material, and chose a packet of seeds to plant. Each newly planted seed was matched with a small plastic coordinating stake with the seed's name on it. Families took their newly planted seeds home to grow.”
With gratitude,
Mr. Clark
