Classroom Resources About Plants, Science and Art

August 1, 2013 by Tania Marien

It’s Back-to-School time.

This month the focus will be on Classroom Resources. I have been reorganizing to get ready for a new school year and to make ArtPlantae a helpful resource for teachers preparing to take on the Common Core State Standards and the Next Generation Science Standards. While classroom resources will receive special attention this month, bringing such resources to you will be an on-going effort as I continue to encourage an interest in plants and continue to connect artists, naturalists and teachers.

Centered around home, school and community, the month of August begins with a special exhibition celebrating the importance of home and information about a resource that should be in every educator’s toolbox. Read about the Habitat for Humanity Artist Showcase in the next article. Come back tomorrow for the teaching and learning column to learn about a resource offering a year’s worth of thoughtful activities designed to connect students with nature.

As this month progresses, I hope you will take a moment to respond to
“Tips & Tools” inquiries and participate in conversation with fellow readers.

Let’s get ready for a new school year!
