About the Project
The goal of this project is to create a garden that is rich in plants that are grown from different parts of the world and for students to have the ability to enrich their fine motor skills by planting, working together, communicating with each other, and having the responsibility to take care of the plants. This garden would also serve as a reading place for children to enjoy nature while reading. This will allow us to involve families in their child’s learning by inviting them to read to our students. This project would benefit many of my current students and future students to gain memorable experiences that will benefit them in their next academic journey.
