Students in Catherine and Gina’s (6-9) classroom are looking forward to spring by preparing a heartfelt wildflower seed project they’ll plant in the coming months. Students mixed wildflower seeds with water and pulverized paper, added red food coloring, and shaped this mixture into heart shapes using cookie cutters as molds. Once the seed paper hearts were dry (ish) they were sent home to sit on a windowsill or other safe place until the snows of February have abated, the winds of March have died down and the warm showers of April have fallen.
