Difficult times can help us grow. Bring that important SEL lesson to life—while learning science and exercising creativity—by having your students create a Peaceful Planter. Use interesting examples to spark your students’ imaginations, then have them create a Peaceful Planter garden your school can enjoy.

Connect to pollution and the idea of sustainability by having students make their planters from biodegradable or upcycled materials. Then, discuss how challenges they face are like the soil, water, sunlight, and air — they help us grow!
