My Project

I have the best students that all teachers would be grateful to have. As a specials teacher, I get to see each and every student at our school. It allows me to make connections with many of them. I am lucky enough to be able to give them life experiences that are not in your general text book classroom. My students are eager to learn and ready for what life has in stored for them.

It is all about hands on learning and that works wonders for students who may need a different outlet of education.

With this project my students will be adding on to our garden area. We have a few arbors that we will be using the roses to grow along. The garden beds in the project will be for the roses. It has open bottoms so their roots have room to grow. The seedling trays are for us to begin our fall crops and to transplant naturally to the garden beds.
