My Project

Our class started a classroom garden. My students have shown an interest in planting seeds and watching the seeds grow. They are able to follow steps/directions for mixing soil, putting it in the seeding trays, and making sure they have enough water and get as much sun as possible.

By donating to our classroom garden project, the skills my students have been learning will grow with the addition of supplies such as trowels, planting mats, pots, labels, and grow lights and our classroom garden will be growing larger in no time.

My students' independence in these skills will flourish and these supplies will enable them to grow as they grow our class garden.
