About the Project
Our second-grade students are embarking on an exciting and educational journey that combines science, economics, and hands-on learning. Through the integration of hydroponics, succulent gardens, and chicken hatching, our young farmers will cultivate a thriving micro-farm right within the walls of their classrooms. Our second-graders will then sell the harvests from their gardens and handmade crafts to the students and staff at our school at our “Little Farmers’ Oasis” Farmers’ Market. At the market, our student customers will select a river rock to decorate and place in our school rock garden. This will provide a sense of community and a hands-on educational experience with economics that will impact our entire school.
