We had an OPEN THE BOX gathering this week! Put together the tower with three teachers, all who will be participating this school year! Looked at the new light system. Learned about how it will be used in the classroom to teach learning by projects and through observation journals. This is going to be a GREAT year of showing kids how Green Is Grown in AZ!

Mr. Gagnon & Mr. DeLaTorre: We are excited to share in your classrooms! Please let me know if you need any links to video or materials for your classroom to build the anticipation of growing something fruitful! In the spring Steven Ritz will be here! We'd love to share his presentation with you all!

I am looking forward to incorporating the tower garden into my Social Studies/Science class. Also thinking about implementing a mini PBL project in between two of our already scheduled projects. Thanks for introducing me to the world of tower gardens! :o)

I did a Staples event last weekend that was great to be able to introduce teachers in our community to the project and we have had a few join our mission!!! Here is a message from Steven! Next month the creator of Towers will be speaking in Arizona! Who wants to join me?!?!?!?!?
