Planting Memories Up Close

Help me give my students the opportunity to connect our reading curriculum with hands on learning! We would love to grow our own plants and herbs in the classroom and examine them under a microscope.

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

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

We are seeking donations to support our students exploration of urban planting and vertical gardens. We are learning concepts inspired by our reading curriculum and are getting ready for the Spring season. Your contribution will help us purchase a microscope and essential planting supplies, enabling hands-on learning experiences that bridge the gap between classroom lessons and real-world applications.

Through this project, students will engage in STEAM activities that connect science and technology while fostering creativity and problem-solving skills.

By observing plant growth and other specimen under the microscope and designing innovative gardening solutions, students can deepen their understanding of sustainability and urban development. We appreciate your dedication to our student's curiosity and inspire a lifelong passion for learning with your generous support!
