A Branson Cedar Ridge Elementary second grade teacher was awarded two mini-grants from the Missouri Farm Bureau in the amount of $500 to help fund an agricultural project.
Nancy Brashers, who has been a second grade teacher for more than 28 years, applied for and was awarded the Missouri Farm Bureau Foundation’s Agriculture in the Classroom Mini Grant to help fund her ‘Plants in Our Lives’ project that she will be teaching this fall.
“I teach 7 to 8 year olds. I have taught 28 years, this will be 29 years,” Brashers said. “I got the grant for science. We are going to be working on plants.”
According to the grant application Brashers submitted to the Missouri Farm Bureau, the project will entail the study of plants and their life cycle. During the project more than 25 students will learn, explore, observe and research plants from seeds to decomposition. Students will be doing several experiments during the project, including dissecting a seed and exploring the different ways seeds are spread.
