My Project

Growing is one of the most basic skills that a person can learn. I want my students to be able to learn how to grow plants so that they can grow their own gardens. Someday these students will be in charge of our planet, I want them to have a solid understanding of the huge role plants serve in life.

Curiosity is sparked with the hands-on activity of growing of new plants.

I want my students to feel proud of themselves for being able to take a seed, plant it, care for it, and have it grow into a mature plant.

Mrs. O.
Grades 3-5
