Help me give my students a sensory experience and improve our outdoor classroom area. The benches will provide a serene place to sit and enjoy the smells of plants and the sounds of nature around them.
The items I have chosen will be used to create a stimulating and engaging sensory garden. Sensory gardens will help stimulate the five senses of sight, smell, sound touch and taste. This type of garden will also allow students to connect to nature and become more aware of their surroundings.
My goals for this project are to provide students and teachers will a calming area where students can interact with nature.
It will also provide a space where students can interact, communicate and play together.
They will also be able to see things that they have planted grow and mature.
