My Project

As a teacher of young minds, I want to give all of my students the opportunity to learn through personal and hands-on experiences. With the items in this project, I will be able to dive deep into our plant unit with hands-on gardening, manipulatives, and resources to make their learning concrete. My goal for this project is to not only teach my students the ins and outs of plants but also create a love of plants.

Learning experiences like this cannot happen without generous individuals who strive to give back to their community.

Can you help make this learning project a reality?

Ms. Schapker Daniel Wertz Elementary School Grades PreK-2
