When my students walk into my classroom, the first thing they learn is that they are now officially OWLS. Yes, from day one, they are Outstanding, Wonderful, Learning, Students! They take this very much to heart. It puts them all at the same academic level.
My classroom is a place of community, which is the most important thing I teach them all school year.
This hopefully leads to our becoming a family. That is important, because our students have all different types of backgrounds with many different stories to tell, especially since my school is considered at a low income level.
My Project
This project is going to engage students in many ways by touching on many academic standards. They will be doing hands on learning from our science standards about plants and how they grow from seed to plant. They will be using writing and speaking standards to journal the story of how their garden grows. They will be using technology standards by taking pictures with the camera and eventually turning those pictures and their writing journals into a digital storybook. They will be collaborating with one another. The best part is they will have the ingredients to take home and have their very own salad!
Nearly all students from low‑income households
