School Beautification Project

My principal has asked us to develop a plan to beautify the front of the school for the next school year. You will be given a budget of $250.00 donated by the Parent Teacher Association to plant a flowerbed in the front of the school. YOU guys have been selected to design the layout of the flowerbed and select the plants. Use the Internet or plant catalogs to find the best prices on plants, mulch, rocks, and other materials needed for the project. A local nursery will donate all the equipment (shovels, rakes, gloves, etc.) for planting the flowerbed. The PTA has asked the flowerbed incorporate colorful plants that will bloom all year round.

You will need to decide on the shape of the flowerbed and how many plants are needed to fill the bed without purchasing too many plants.

**Please take notes as you complete your research in Educreations. Include pictures, if possible. You can also record your voice within these notes if needed.**

1. Plants: type and prices 2. mulch: type and prices 3. rocks: type and prices 4. other materials: what are the materials and prices 5. drawing of flowerbed with dimensions 6. placement of flowers within flowerbed- how far between flowers?

**Prepare a presentation in Minecraft to present at the summer PTA meeting.** 1. **Design the school.** Our school is 8 feet tall. You will need to have a classroom and an office. Office size: 10X10 Classroom size: 10X20 Minecraft: Blocks: 2X2 Doors: 4X8 2. Place your **designed flowerbed** at the front of the school. Use correct dimensions and shape to design your flowerbed (should match the flowerbed you created). Make sure you place the flowers in the correct place.

Your notes will need to be available for the presentation.
