This Week's Project Grant Highlight: "Sensory Farm Exploration Station"

Using their grant funding, Founder Elementary School created a year-long Sensory Farm Exploration Station that continued to adapt with their curriculum. Students explored seeds, built a farm model system, and practiced planting through hands-on play. The station became the most popular center in the classroom and a powerful learning tool.
