Are you tired of giving kids useless toys? My First Organics seed starting kits make a unique, educational gift for any child — from preschool age up to eight years! How a Garden Saves the Earth is a perfect companion to an individual kit! It’s a beautiful, 26-page color children’s book about kids growing their own fruits and vegetables, teaching them why it’s so good for them and the Earth.
Help Ann get her My First Organics Classroom Bundle by supporting the RFA Campaign today! “With 76% free and reduced lunch students on our campus, the thought of healthy eating isn’t promoted outside of my classroom. I am also the school garden coordinator, sustainability teacher and chairperson for our PG&E Solar School grant. Healthy living, and teaching to children, is a passion.”
Help Daria get her My First Organics Classroom Bundle by supporting the RFA Campaign today! “I am thrilled introduce to my daughter a teaching program that will get her excited about growing foods and being green!”
Help Cindy get her My First Organics Classroom Bundle by supporting the RFA Campaign today! “I teach science. It is so important to teach the students how to take care of the earth, and how important and fun healthy eating can be for them.”
Help Miriam get her My First Organics Classroom Bundle by supporting the RFA Campaign today! “I love teaching kids science especially during this time when students learn about planting. In class we are learning about trees, plants, fruits and vegetables. Our trip to the New York Botanical Garden was great, the students saw many different types of plants, and planted their own seeds in their children’s garden. In class, the students planted lima beans and are learning that plants have a life cycle of their own. This organics bundle will be a great experience for the students to see how tomatoes grow.”
Help Nancy get her My First Organics Classroom Bundle by supporting the RFA Campaign today! “I have a garden box outside of my room and I would love to have the kids plant vegetables in it. I will be great to make salads or cook soup with the vegetables we grow.”
Congratulations, Ann, 5th grade teacher in Tracy, CA! Thanks to our customers, your My First Organics Classroom Bundle was shipped on May 7, 2010! Enjoy and share how it goes!
Congratulations to Cindy, Miriam and Nancy! And Daria, we haven’t forgotten about you. Our homeschoolers get a different bundle is all. We do need to get the word out more. The fund is depleted and we’d love to get more of these out to Teachers. Pass the word on!
Help Sarah get her My First Organics Classroom Bundle by supporting the RFA Campaign today! “We are a waste-free classroom, and have a great environment and enthusiasm to take a jump into organics. In 1st grade, we planted our own terrariums and learned about natural foods from the world’s rain forests. My children are adventuresome and introducing them, or extending their knowledge of organics, would be well received.”
Help Kristen get her My First Organics Classroom Bundle by supporting the RFA Campaign today! “I think that it will be wonderful for my students to have the opportunity to create their own garden at home.”
Help Kathleen get her My First Organics Classroom Bundle by supporting the RFA Campaign today! “We recently started a school garden which was a positive learning experience for all our students. The organic kit will be a wonderful addition to our garden and an easy way to implement the goals I have for my ESK students. Thank you!”
