My Project

This is something I’ve always wanted to do with my students. I think learning how things grow and then actually doing it can be so amazing. I think it is important for kids to have that hands on learning experience. What better way than to grow your own food. Learning how things grow, taking care of it while it grows, picking it when it is ready, learning about healthy recipes, and then cooking some of those recipes is just an amazing life lesson. I’m so excited for this project!
