Hey Reader,

If you're anything like me, you're constantly searching for ways to spice up your lessons and keep those little eyes wide with wonder. So, let's dive into how NOT to teach the plant life cycle—unless you’re ready for your classroom to transform into a hub of excitement and curiosity!

Here’s what you might be doing wrong (and what to do instead):

❌ Don't just use textbooks. Why talk about roots and stems from pages that can't grow? Let’s get those hands dirty!

My latest blog post dives into creating plant necklaces (yes, you read that right!), where students can see a seed sprout around their necks. It’s science they can touch, feel, and even wear. Imagine the conversations at home!

❌ Keep it Simple: Transform a bean and a cotton ball into a living necklace. You'll be surprised at the joy and learning it sparks—no fancy supplies needed, just what you already have in your classroom.
​

❌ Never skip the real-world connection. Let students watch their plants grow. This isn't just a lesson on life cycles—it's a practical experience in responsibility, observation, and nurturing—crucial life skills taught through science.

Ready to ditch the old school methods and bring some magic into your classroom?
