My Project

Our students will gain real-world science learning through cultivating a garden full of vegetables. Gardening will give the students an opportunity to learn about the life of a plant, seasonal vegetables, companion planting, healthy eating and teamwork as they work together to grow a garden. The items requested will help the students start the planting process. The gloves and knee pads will help protect their hands as they dig into the soil. The seeds will give them a great start with easy to grow vegetables that they enjoy. Students will measure out their plot, plant seeds, harvest the vegetables, then we'll culminate their first project by making a delicious salad.
