My Project

My goal for this project is to help our cooking classroom and garden become safer and funner environments for students. In the classroom, towels and aprons go a long way in teaching students about cleanliness and its importance while cooking. A floor mat will lead to fewer slips as students wash their dishes at the end of class.

In the garden, students are always trying to get a closer look at things; having magnifying glasses will free their curious minds.

New hoses and tools will go a long way as I teach students how to grow their own food.
