It sparked many ideas in my teacher brain to integrate it further and do lots of additional learning around plants/healthy eating etc. The kids loved seeing them grow and really surprised me with how responsible and caring they were towards their plants. Often before I got a hello in the morning they would ask me if they can water their plants.”
