My Students

Our school strives to love first and teach second for all students. Every child has capabilities, talents, and strengths; sometimes, all it takes is exposure or motivation. The students in my class strive for excellence and have a deep love of learning. They all inherently care about one another and continually make an effort to improve in all aspects. This pandemic has my students at home distance learning and they are striving to be the best student they can be given the circumstances.

My Project

COVID-19 will not stop me from teaching my students the importance of plants and everyday life. I would love for my students to still be able to see what happens with growing a plant in a maze with the maze plant kits, what a tickle me plant does, and see how roots grow with the root viewer growing system.

I can plant this at home and share them virtually so students can still learn and see what is happening.

During virtual meetings, me and the class can record changes while explaining the needs of plants and how they grow. The good thing is that plants cannot move around. This will ensure students have visual access during each class meeting and when they are full grow and ready to replant I can give them out to the students using social distancing of course.
