My Project

All students are unique and special. My students fit this adage perfectly. I have student of different ethic persuasions, military dependents, and English language learners. Each student learns in their own way. Needless, to say, Covid-19 severely impacted their learning. Sadly, students lacked interacting with one another . Therefore, peer learning did not occur. The majority of learning takes place this way. Hopefully now, since students have returned to school more learning will take place as peer learning. The above resources will be helpful in advancing the learning through observing, discussion and creating of projects in and out of the classroom.

The materials will be used to help students understand plant life and how special it is needed for all living things on planet Earth to survive, The materials will be used for living labs.

Students will observe how plant life can arise from a single cell if given the care and attention it needs. Much like taking care of a human child.
