My Project
It's Salad Day in 7th Grade!
Our students grew lettuce in our hydroponic towers this year.
We enjoyed celebrating our harvest with a Salad Day! The students brought the toppings and everyone that chose to, enjoyed a large bowl of salad and toppings!
I love teaching my students about growing their own veggies and flowers and how some flowers are even edible! In 2025-26, I would like to expand it to include, growing a variety of plants in our hydroponic tower and using our garden outside. My students have even asked, can they come back to my class next year to participate in Salad Day!
