My Project
This project is not just about growing plants to help our environment in the city but also to teach my kids to be kind and nourish something. The hope is that students not only learn about the process of gardening but successfully growing flowers and herbs but we as middle schoolers can do this activity jointly with our Special Ed students. This will highlight both science and mathematics as well as learning to work with other students they don’t normally get to interact with in our classroom. We will attempt to grow a variety of plants from seeds using potting soil, and starter pots which we will transfer to larger pots to take home. The students will learn how to begin seeds, proper care of seedlings, and how to transfer them without injuring the plant. If we are successful, I hope to make this a quarterly collaboration with our special education department. My class will do all the research in science to grow these plants successfully and how they impact our environment. Then they can teach the special education kids how to plant them and explain the process of caring for them to them.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
