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 given green-ware pottery planters in the shape of clowns which
they painted with glaze.
The clown planters were professionally fired at a class outing so they could see
the process.
It was great fun!
They planted cactus seeds in the finished planters and they grew nicely, but
unfortunately, the children were not allowed to take them home.
The cactus plants were removed and small ivy replaced them and the children were
then allowed
to take them home instead.
The teacher said cactus seemed like a good idea at the time!
