Hacker students turn lesson into community garden

Saturday, October 15, 2016
Fifth grade students from two classrooms at Hacker Middle School turned a project-based learning project into a series of wooden planters. Located in the school's courtyard, some teams decided to build them in different shapes, like this one that took the form of a "T" in honor of the Mountain Home Tigers.

Science classes at Hacker Middle School are turning a classroom lesson into an effort that could benefit others in the Mountain Home community.

Teachers Bret Young and Topher Wallert introduced the lesson in early September that required their fifth-grade students to translate basic math and problem-solving skills into vegetable gardens located into the school's courtyard.
