My Project

The students in my class often stand to complete assignments. I thought that I could purchase a few standing desks to help the students who stand to complete their work nicely and neatly.

The garden accessories are so that the students can start planting their garden the outdoor garden, indoors, to help nurture and help the seeds grow during the winter time.

Showing students what they learn in the books and then they can apply it to real life by planting the seeds and then actually taking those seeds that are growing into plants. I’m planting them into the garden in the springtime is an example of real-life learning.

Giving students the opportunity to apply what they have read about and see their garden grow and then pick the fruits and vegetables is something that will stay with them throughout their entire lives.
