Colorful Planting Fun

Help me give my students materials to create colorful planters for growing plants.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Barnett's classroom raised $172

This project is fully funded

My Project

Every year in the spring, I love to plant with my students. I love when they experience the planting process from putting soil in the cup, planting the seed, watering and watching it grow into a plant.

I am requesting materials to make colorful planters so they can grow basil and give it as a gift.

The white planters will be a canvas for a picture they can make. The sharpies will be used to draw the pictures.

Planting is always a great way to learn about the life cycle. My students always love this activity.
