Research has shown that having plants in your classroom increases the air quality in your space, fuels creativity and exploration and increases one's self esteem after watching their own creation flourish! With the addition of these plants in our classroom, my students will be able to watch and nurture a living organism from seedling to full bloom. The learning possibilities are endless - light and wave length, soil and water monitoring, measurement and documentation, scientific inquiry, scientific experiments, ecosystems, earth science, botany, fundraising possibilities, etc. Students will be able to document their journeys with interactive notebooking and share their outcomes with the community if they decide to use the vegetables they grew for fundraising! First and foremost, this project will allow students to create something unique to them with their OWN hands from start to finish and teach them a life sustaining skill that they can continue to use forever. It's that good ol' saying "Give a man a fish and he will eat once, teach a man to fish and he will eat for a lifetime." I want my students to be that lifetime "fisherman" after having these experiences in my classroom!
