My Students

As supporters of lifelong learning, our preschool and per-kindergarten staff serves 3, 4, and 5 year old children on the west side of Indianapolis, Indiana. Many of our families live in poverty and 59% of our children receive special education services.

We support the idea that our children should be lifelong learners and love that we can give science in their world.

Our children come from a variety of ethnic backgrounds. Our staff works hard to provide a variety of learning opportunities for our children throughout the year to continually support families in many ways. Many of our families work in low-income jobs.

My Project

Our 3, 4, and 5 year olds love to explore and create. They love to learn how things grow, where their food comes from and how fresh foods taste. Most of our children have never experienced working in a garden and have not been able to experience planting, weeding and harvesting plants they grew themselves.

These gloves, tools and watering cans will give our students the tools to create food from seeds and be able to understand how plants grow and learn, first hand, the parts of the plant that produce food.

Also they will be able to taste fresh food they grew themselves and share with others what they have created.

These tools, gloves and watering cans will make it possible for our students to plant, grow and harvest food to share with families in our school. They will take these tools and create food and to make this gardening experience a reality. The children will be able to take pride in growing fresh vegetables. These gloves, tools and watering cans will take book learning to reality and allow our children to be able to show their families how they grew plants from seeds and how exciting it is to taste what they grew.
