A little thought and effort can help beautify the world around you and can lift everyone's spirits.
Flowers have a way of making everyone feel a little happier.
Working in small groups, have your students plant a garden. For the classroom, they can plant garden containers. To spread the good cheer, have students grow their flowers in pots that they decorate and bring to a nursing home to brighten the days of others. They can glue shells, macaroni or beans on the pots for a unique look. Turn this exercise into an extension of your natural sciences or botany program.
