Hand-Picked

by Nicole Ayers, 7th & 8th Grade Math and Science

With warmer weather just around the corner, students are getting ready to plant a spring garden. Each student in seventh grade chose one or two sixth graders to work with on this project. They made a fun and “fruity” ceremony to reveal their partners, and students with matching produce formed a team.

Students researched which plants they would like to grow in their designated garden beds and created scale drawings to determine how many of each plant will fit in their allotted space. They are in the process of creating artwork to represent their gardens, which will soon be on display in our commons. We can’t wait to nurture our hand-picked plants with our hand-picked partners!
