Students in my class absolutely LOVED this project. They planted seeds in plastic bags and watched as the roots began to grow. We watched for about ten days, and then we unwrapped the delicate roots and planted them in individual planters using soil and little trowels. Our students were transformed into gardeners within seconds. The nonstop chatter about plant growth and wanting to do this again and again was so exciting to hear. We were able to have a hands-on approach to learning while having relevant conversations about plant growth, fruits and vegetables, and how pretty our flowers would look for the upcoming holiday, Mother's Day. \r\nThank you for allowing my students an opportunity to learn from real-world experiences.
