This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

Embark on a captivating journey into the fascinating realm of plants with this engaging indoor gardening project, designed specifically for kindergartners.

Through hands-on exploration, young minds will discover the wonders of plant growth, fostering a lifelong appreciation for the natural world.

With the help of a grow light, seeds, watering cans, gardening aprons and a table to keep our plants student-height, students will nurture their very own plants, witnessing firsthand the remarkable process of germination and growth. The classroom will transform into a miniature greenhouse, providing a vibrant and stimulating learning environment.

As their seedlings sprout and flourish, kindergartners will develop essential skills, including observation, responsibility, and collaboration. They will learn about the importance of sunlight, water, and nutrients for plant growth, laying the foundation for a deeper understanding of science and the environment.
