Where We Grow - Plant the Seed

“Plant the Seed is #1 in hands-on engagement, especially for some children who don’t feel as successful in the classroom. It helps build a sense of community and collective responsibility, and there are sooooo many opportunities to tie in science and discovery.”~ MNPS multi-classroom leader
