Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

Having a garden in preschool offers a wide range of benefits for both children and educators. I am working with my fellow educators to build a community garden in our school courtyard for students and families to enjoy. We are asking for materials to get us started. We would like a few hydroponic planters, some seeds, soil, and pots.

My students with autism thrive when provided with tangible, hands-on learning environments, and having this garden will allow my students the opportunity to explore concepts such at plant life cycles, nutrition, and environmental science in a real-world context.

Gardens help children understand that growing their own food promotes healthy eating habits. When children participate in growing and harvesting their own food, they are more likely to try new foods and develop a preference for healthy foods. Gardening involves physical activity such as digging, planting, watering, and weeding which promotes both gross and fine motor skill development. It also teaches children responsibility and the importance of caring for living things. Students will learn to water plants and observe the plant life cycle. Gardening can also be a calming and therapeutic activity by helping children develop patience, empathy, and a sense of achievement. Our PreK curriculum has Gardening, Water, and Tree which will help enhance learning in science, math, and the arts.
