While I've taught lots of adults, I have little or no experience teaching 7th graders. Anybody have any helpful hints as I embark on this foray next week. Are there points I should emphasize. Here's a golden opportunity for input without having to stand in front of a classroom! Let me hear your thoughts.

Also, there is much information through the National Gardening Association. If you use this cut and paste link below, you'll go to a page where you can scroll down to exchange/swap info with other schools and teachers about what they have done and how they are doing it.

Our first experiment, propagating begonias, has not been a success - we've grown more mold than anything - and we may restart that project. We forced spring bulbs and brought them into bloom in just two weeks. On Tuesday we sowed radish, turnip and carrots in a competition - we already have sprouts. I encourage other MGs to search out and participate in these projects.
