Our Classroom Rocks!

My students need to be part of our classroom garden. Part of that is creating rock art to place in and around the garden!

My Students

Our students are creative, thoughtful and full of questions! They absolutely love hands-on, active, engaging projects and challenges that allow them to think outside the box to find solutions! They come to school each day ready to try new things and take brave chances in order to grow both personally and academically. How awesome is that!

Curious, enthusiastic, and creative, our students are eager to immerse themselves in any kind of challenge.

They love learning! Our kids are truly an incredible group, and I am so lucky and thankful to have a new group of learners who are excited and ready to learn each year!

My Project

Students will benefit in many ways with the products on this DonorsChoose list. First of all, can I say BEANBAGS? I never ceases to amaze me how students are able to focus when plopped in the middle of a beanbag. Also, mindset is such an important part of learning and growing. Positive statement rock art happens when we get those acrylic pens! Next, let's talk garden. There's nothing better than seeing hands in dirt work turn into food on the table. Students will be able to water our raised bed gardens with the help of a strong and flexible hose.
