My Project

It is my hope that requesting these items allows the gardening and digital arts program I run to be innovative, precise, and fun. By receiving these items, it allows me to continue with the journey of teaching my students by ensuring I know fully how to help them navigate the lessons and keep them engaged. The tiny gardens will help execute the garden lessons in full with hands-on application and ownership that teaches responsibility.

Journals will capture their exploration in the spaces and ignite their creative thinking minds.
