Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

Middle School students in our class will start to prepare the Garden in front of our school. They will learn to plant, water the plants, and do the gardening two times a week.

They will invite students from kinder to 5th Grade and tour them to the garden that they will set up, discuss how they plant, and how to take care of the plants.

They will give a pot with soil and seeds, and help the other kids plant.

The kids who will participate will bring home the pot with the soil and seeds and some giveaways. The Middle School students in our class will also put some indoor plants in different parts of the school.
