= Our Wishes =
 * 1) ======Be sure to rewash all milk, soda, and orange juice containers that are brought into the classroom. Leave lids off to ensure containers completely dry and to reduce chances of mold.======
 * 2) If possible, try growing herbs as part of the plant unit and then use these plants in packages. Plants cannot be too large or they do not fit into the packages.
 * 3) Students were very creative with their designs and we needed to use exacto knives and drills to help their ideas come to fruition. Having students mark their containers before lunchtime allowed us to make cuts and not have a line of students waiting for assistance.
 * 1) ====== Next year we would like to include a package scavenger hunt for students. This would entail students going to several different stores to examine different types of packaging. A photo safari would allow students to share their finds back at school. ======
 * 2) We did not actually send our plants through the mail, but did have them go through an obstacle course on the playground. The packages were carried the length of the basketball court and put on a trolley which rolled around Saafety Town streets. In the future we hope to be able to send the packages through the mail, even if it is our Interoffice mail to another school building!
 * 3) Students were open to redesigning their plant packages and we hope to use this as a way to promote continuous improvement in other subject areas.
