My Project

I am a first year teacher with a limited budget and supplies. I would appreciate help in getting these items so I am able to expose the students to this opportunity. I have had several students ask about succulents and how they can be used.

It will teach the art of starting seeds from choosing the correct containers and soil to transplanting and growing on.

The students will learn how lighting and watering can sometimes be tricky. Patience and perseverance can be learned in this project also as sometimes succulents are the hardest to start.
