My Project

Our school district is in a large farming community, so planting and harvesting is crucial for our students to learn and experience. These materials will allow the students to measure out the correct amount of soil needed for their pot. As well, give them the experience of planting seeds, taking care of the seeds, and watching them grow. The other materials will be used to decorate their pots to help them distinguish which pot is theirs to take care of. The goal of this project is to help the student’s learn the responsibilities and skills it takes for planting flowers.
