My Project

Six year old's are curious about everything. I wish you could hear all the wild questions I get in a day. They love anything involving doing....I mean they love to make stuff!

I want to show them how to grow a plant from a seed and be able to take it home to care for it.

We can start seeds in March and care for the seedling and then transplant it to a nicer pot to use as a Mother's Day gift or whatever!

My students will love this! They would each have a daily job to do.

Ms. Sergeant Burns Elementary Middle School Grades PreK-2
