My Project

My first grade students love hands on activities. They enjoy being able to work with their hands especially with science, math and art activities. Being able to have a garden bed for the spring time will make learning fun and engaging.The garden bed will be placed on the outside of the classroom where we can be able to see our gardening at work.

We already have the soil, tools, and seeds so all we need is a garden bed.

Being able to have the Garden theme box will help us also enjoy gardening indoors. Having the Teacher Pay Teacher gift card will help us find fun spring projects such as plants, flowers, and Earth Day.
