My Project

Our classroom is a place where my students can grow and become scientists, historians, authors and above all, leaders. My students are learning about climate and our environment.

We are excited to learn how to grow food naturally to improve the climate and our environment as part of our unit about various environments around the world.

Improving our classroom environment by having students work together to accomplish our goal of growing food that we can enjoy on our own.

We, as a class, have created a culture and community where new ideas are accepted and explored and where my students are excited to dig a little deeper and go the extra mile with their work.

Grades 6-8
