Thank you so much for hosting this linky party. There are always so many fantastic ideas listed – many of which are inspiring!
Great ideas. I also highly recommend having each student grow a TickleMe Plant. Its the only plant that kids can interact with. Touch it and it closes it leaves and lowers its branches.
Find videos of the plant in action and classroom kits online or in any science catalog.
Oooo – that sounds amazing! I’ll definitely look that up. Thanks for sharing, Samantha.
