School+Beautification+Project+(3rd+and+4th)


 * 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 $500.00 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.

In order to complete this project, you will need to apply your understanding of perimeter and area. 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. The flowerbed should have a border or fence around the edge. How much border will you need to purchase without over purchasing?  **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 7. border or fence - How much will you need to purchase without over purchasing?  **Prepare a presentation in Minecraft to present at the summer PTA meeting.** 1. **Design the school.** Our school is 10 feet tall. You will need to have a classroom for each grade with a hallway that will lead to each grade. <span style="display: block; font-family: "Comic Sans MS",cursive; font-size: 120%; text-align: center;">The office should be at the front of the school <span style="display: block; font-family: "Comic Sans MS",cursive; font-size: 120%; text-align: center;">Dimensions: 10X10 <span style="display: block; font-family: "Comic Sans MS",cursive; font-size: 120%; text-align: center;"> <span style="display: block; font-family: "Comic Sans MS",cursive; font-size: 120%; text-align: center;">Classroom sizes: <span style="display: block; font-family: "Comic Sans MS",cursive; font-size: 120%; text-align: center;">Kindergarten: 40X30 <span style="display: block; font-family: "Comic Sans MS",cursive; font-size: 120%; text-align: center;">1st grade: 30X30 <span style="display: block; font-family: "Comic Sans MS",cursive; font-size: 120%; text-align: center;">2nd grade: 30X30 <span style="display: block; font-family: "Comic Sans MS",cursive; font-size: 120%; text-align: center;">3rd grade: 30X20 <span style="display: block; font-family: "Comic Sans MS",cursive; font-size: 120%; text-align: center;">4th grade: 32X20 <span style="display: block; font-family: "Comic Sans MS",cursive; font-size: 120%; text-align: center;">5th grade: 20X20 <span style="display: block; font-family: "Comic Sans MS",cursive; font-size: 120%; text-align: center;"> <span style="display: block; font-family: "Comic Sans MS",cursive; font-size: 120%; text-align: center;"><span style="display: block; font-family: "Comic Sans MS",cursive; font-size: 19.2px; text-align: center;">Minecraft:Blocks: 2X2Doors: 4X8Fence: 1 piece of fencing is 2X4 <span style="display: block; font-family: "Comic Sans MS",cursive; font-size: 120%; text-align: center;"> <span style="display: block; font-family: "Comic Sans MS",cursive; font-size: 120%; text-align: center;">2.
