My Project

Every year our gloves go missing, get super dirty, or somehow melt into a gooey glob so that we can't use them anymore. We need new garden gloves so we can pull weeds, cut branches and move rocks without our hands getting dirty or injured. We also need a new hanging system for the gloves with the clothespins, wire cable and eye hooks. This heavy duty system will enable us to hang our gloves up to keep them dry and off the ground.

Working in the garden is hard, dirty work, but wearing gloves and masks makes us feel invincible and we can do almost anything!

These yellow and orange gloves will hopefully make it harder to misplace and thrown around. We also need new water cups and stirrers for when we use Gatorade powder to get electrolytes into our system after sweating all class period. My students work really hard in class, and having a water cooler with drink powder makes working in the garden all worth it!
