My Project

We would love to add a hydroponic garden and succulent kit to our PreK classroom. These resources will provide numerous educational and developmental benefits for our young learners. The hydoponic garden can also be used as a fish tank, so students can learn about ecosystems.

Caring for the plants allows students to engage in hands-on learning and develop responsibility as they help to maintain the tank and garden.

This tank will provide a live demonstration of an ecosystem. Students can observe the interactions between fish, plants, and water, enhancing their understanding of biological concepts.

These setups will spark curiosity in young minds. Children will ask questions about aquatic life, plant growth, and the science behind hydroponics, fostering a love for exploration and inquiry.

These opportunities allow us to integrate STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) concepts into lessons. Students can measure water levels, explore plant biology, and understand the principles of growth.

Interacting with animals and plants has been shown to improve emotional well-being. The presence of a fish tank and garden can create a calming atmosphere in the classroom.

Incorporating a hydroponic garden into our PreK classroom will enrich our students' learning experiences, foster their growth, and provide them with valuable skills that will benefit them for years to come. We appreciate your consideration of this request.
