Funded Dec 6, 2024Thank you for this wonderful donation. My students are learning the value of sustainable living with the beginning steps of simple agriculture. The fruit, vegetable and herb seeds are a great way for students to appreciate the cycle of life through vegetation. They are able to select the fruit, vegetable or herb of their choice, plant it and care for it throughout the process of growth. My students are also learning terminology such as germination time, life cycle, harvest time, USDA zones and more. This prepares them for college and career readiness in the many professions n agriculture.
My students are really amazed at the variety of vegetables, fruits and herbs that were available to them and that they can plant them and are even more excited to learn that it will grow into food which they can eat and continue to grow at home! They are also practicing patience and responsibility by taking care of their plants by watering it when necessary, recording growth time, and understanding the waiting period of germination time which requires patience. My students will care for their plants in the school and learn how to continue to grow and care for their own food as they continue to practice these agricultural skills. Thank you Donors Choose for allowing me to connect and share this project to those who wish to make things come true!”
With gratitude,
Ms. Guzman
