My Project

Hi there!

Thank you for checking out my class project for Spring by helping us reach our goal for creating a gardening/planting system in our classroom.

With your help contributing to our project you will be offering an experience many of our learners may not get otherwise. By allowing our students the experience of playing with soil, germinating and planting seeds, nurturing our plants and discussing the biology of plant life and systems; you are helping form curiosity about our world, planet and natural environment, eliciting greater discussions while having the joy of growing their own plant! I appreciate you for helping our class, as a first year teacher I am building my tool-box of activities for years to come. Thank you.

Take good care and be well,
