My Project

The books will be used to learn about how to help out the Earth and what steps we can take as individuals and a class to keep our space nice. The growing kit will be used to watch plants grow and see their roots!

Students will be able to take a plant home after we have learned how to care for it.

The pens will be used to celebrate Earth Day and share with our families, different ways to help make a better space for everyone around us. My students love to be creative, and I know that they will enjoy being able to watch and learn about plant life cycles and how plants keep us alive.
