My Project

My wonderful art students love the calm community in the art room. Currently there is an Aerogarden growing herbs that students love to inquire about, touch, and taste ( as well as draw!). I am requesting more nutrients as well as fresh pods to be planted... as students have requested to see other types of plants growing.

I am also requesting stamps, as sending personal notes to students " caught in an act of kindness" has been a wonderful motivational tool for students and is a great way to build SEL ( Social Emotional Learning) in our classroom!
