Class Project Gone Wrong
An elementary school class started a class project to make planters to take home to their parents….
They wanted to have a plant in it that was easy to take care of, so they decided to use Cactus Plants.
The students were each given green-ware pottery plants in the shape of clowns, which they painted with glaze.
The clown planters were then professionally ‘fired’ on a class outing, allowing the students to see the whole process. All agreed the day out was great fun.
They planted Cactus seeds in their new planters, and they started to grow, so the project was working very well.
The problem came once they were fully grown and it came time to take the planters home. It was decided that they might not be the most apropriate thing for the children to arrive home with, and the Cactus plants were removed, to be replaced with a small Ivy.
The teacher said that the Cactus plants seemed the perfect choice at the beginning !
