Week of April 28- May 2, 2014

Falcons we are now entering the second week of the 6th Six Weeks.
This week we will be conducting AC2E IT Spring Seminar!

Each teacher at AC2E MS is in charge of one event. I am in charge of Go Green.

 

"Go Green" Students will create a plant terrarium.

Terrariums will help students understand ecosystems, habitats, and plant

interdependence and life cycles. The student's interest is stimulated greatly

since he will be creating his own collection of plants that he will arrange and

care for to make sure the terrarium is successfully maintained.

A terrarium will add a little green to any indoor space. They are great

oxygen boosters!

 

Materials:

* 6 inch Glass containers

*6 inch Clay pots

*Stones

*Activated charcoal

*Terrarium plants, herbs

*Potting mix (sterile)

*Moss

*Paints, Brushes
