My Project

Please help provide my classroom with everything needed in order to learn about the environment. In particular, we would be planting flower seeds in pots and giving them to loved ones prior to the start of summer. This would be a wonderful lesson to focus on the climate and Earth Day!

My goal would be to go over the parts of a flower and the grow cycle with my students.

Then they would actually be able to go deeper by working hands on with these materials! Help us by making learning fun!
