Picture Perfect Garden

My students need these seed pods to use in our new aeroGarden. We will incorporate STEM activities as we use the polaroid camera and film to document the seeds germination.

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 Students

I teach at a Title I, ethnically diverse school in southeast Louisiana. Our students are mostly from a low socio-economic background and receive free breakfast and lunch. Hurricane Katrina has greatly affected our community.

Regardless of their home lives and background, my students walk into the classroom every morning full of life and ready for a day of learning.

My goal for my students is that each and every one of them will be a productive member of our community. They have so much to offer, each one having a unique and special story to tell. I can see their eyes light up as they are learning and soaking up new information. I'm so blessed that I can play a small part in their journey to success.

My Project

These seed pods will allow us to grow these herbs and vegetables in our classroom in our aeroGarden all while learning about plant life cycles and what seeds need to germinate. The Polaroid camera and film will give my students the opportunity to document the seeds growth along the way while completing STEM activities. We will use the photos in our science journal as we record data and note the changes as time passes. The photos will also be used to compare and contrast the different herbs at different stages of development. Each group will present their photos to the class as well as their descriptions. Thank you so much for taking interest in my students and this project. I'm so excited to kick this project off.
