My Project

My students are caring, curious, and eager learners. Having plants and fungi in the classroom allows students to see the diversity of life and sparks an interest in our world. Plants need care and can provide feedback through how they grow and don't grow, allowing students to adjust their actions to support them.

Plants, mushrooms, and living things in the classroom make learning fun and meaningful.

Even the most reluctant learners are drawn to living things. Help me bring a variety of plants and fungi to the classroom to spark a love of life and its diversity.
