Spring is here (and spring break starts tomorrow at 3:30)!
So here is a flower related kindness challenge (that could actually even work in the winter time because of the how this teacher is growing her flowers).
First, a bit of a backstory. For Christmas I bought my husband an Aerogarden. Which is a fancy hydroponic indoor garden. We are growing tomatoes in ours (but I'll post about ours another time). When I bought it for him I naturally tried to learn as much about it as possible and so I joined an Aerogarden Facebook group where not only did I learn about how to use our Aerogarden but how teachers are using them in their classrooms!
Here's what one teacher is doing:
It may be hard to read so I'll summarize it. Basically, this teacher now has to Aerogarden's that she is planting flower seeds in. Her grade 2 class has a kindness challenge in that when they see someone who's day needs brightening up they will come and snip a few flowers for them from their garden.
Awww....
How would you use an Aerogarden in your classroom?
