Impact to My Classroom

# of Students Impacted: 41

With the communities help and spport our 41 first grade students are learning to love and appreciate the natual world around them. Our garden has been such a great oppirtunity for the students to learn and for us to teach them. Especiall with the challenges that everyone has been faced with, we are so lucky we were able to show some normalcy to our students. Having a school garden has also inspired them to teach their families and to begin to grow things at home.

Original Grant Overview

Goal

This gardening project will start at the beginning of the school year and be a permanent ongoing project. The students will learn to plant and care for their community garden.  

 

What will be done with my students

The students will learn what it means to work hard and work cooperatively in order to eat healthy and live a healthy life style. This project ties into the 1st grade curriculum through science, social studies, reading and writing.
