FUTURES Foundation - $600.00
Goal
I am implementing this project to teach students how to make a garden so they can learn how plants grow, and motivate them to eat from nature. I want to spread awareness that we can create our own foods to eat instead of eating packaged foods. Students will learn the hard work and dedication it takes to tend a garden but reap the benefits of the hard work by eating from the harvest.

What will be done with my students
Students will create a garden by preparing the garden by pulling weeds and preparing the soil. They will spread soil and plant seeds or spouts of different sorts that should be planted due to the seasons. They will plant flowers to encourage bugs to help with pollination. They will water and maintain the garden by pulling weeds as needed, check for pests, and watch and observe as the plants grow. We will harvest and enjoy when ready to do so.
Students will observe plants as they grow.
• SC.3.L.14.1
Describe the structure of plants and how their parts support food production, water and nutrient transport, and reproduction. The major parts of a plant include the stem, leaf, root, flower, seed, and fruit.
Students will observe how plants respond to stimuli as well as pests.
• SC.3.L.14.2
Investigate and describe how plants respond to stimuli like heat, light, and gravity. For example, plant stems grow toward light, and roots grow downward in response to gravity.
Students will observe how different plants grow during different seasons.
• SC.3.L.17.1
Describe how plants and animals respond to changing seasons
Benefits to my students
Students will learn how to grow and maintain a garden. They will learn about the parts of a plant, and how the seasons will affect the plants. Funding will help students to get hands on and create their own garden.
Budget Narrative
The supplies needed may change depending on how the garden is responding. The materials are what we need to jump start our garden.
