It was an amazing project and now it is considered to be in all the schools that has Autism Programs like mine. It is a way to make them part of the climate change actions and a great sensory and emotional therapy.

Hi Ana,
Hope everything is going well for you.

In our special education program, we have set aside a space to expose students to garden therapy while educating them about the planting process at home and in their communities. It has been fascinating to see how these skills transfer outside the classroom to support parents. The active involvement of parents in the educational process fills me with great hope.

Best,
Mr. Bryan

1. Classcraft: Classcraft is a platform that allows teachers to gamify their classrooms. While primarily designed for overall classroom management, it can also be adapted to incorporate eco-challenges and sustainability goals.
2. Kahoot!: Kahoot! is a game-based learning platform where teachers can create quizzes, surveys, and challenges. Students can compete individually or in teams, making it a fun way to incorporate sustainability-related questions and challenges.
3. Quizizz: Similar to Kahoot!, Quizizz allows teachers to create interactive quizzes and games for their students. Teachers can include questions about environmental issues, sustainability practices, and eco-friendly behaviors.
4. Socrative: Socrative is a platform that enables teachers to create interactive quizzes, polls, and assessments. Teachers can use it to create eco-challenges and track students' progress toward sustainability goals.

By gamifying eco-challenges in this way, you can make learning about sustainability fun and engaging for students while also promoting positive environmental actions in the classroom and beyond.

1. EcoQuest Missions: Each week, students are given an eco-mission related to sustainability. It could be something like reducing paper usage, saving water, or recycling.
2. Points and Levels: Students earn points for completing these missions. As they accumulate points, they level up. For example, Level 1 could be "Eco Apprentice," Level 2 could be "Eco Champion," and so on.
3. Leaderboards: Display a leaderboard in the classroom to show which students have earned the most points and reached the highest levels. This adds a competitive element and encourages students to participate.
4. Rewards: Offer rewards for reaching certain levels, such as eco-friendly stickers, pencils made from recycled materials, or extra credit.
5. Team Challenges: Occasionally, students could work in teams to complete larger eco-challenges, like organizing a school-wide recycling drive or starting a composting program.

Cultivate green thinking with planting challenges that transform the classroom into a thriving oasis. You can start from grow seedlings or even create vertical gardens. Here you can find an instruction on how to build a vertical garden as a team-building classroom activity.

Students nurture plants and track their growth progress. As they witness the fruits of their labor, they develop a deeper appreciation for nature's resilience and beauty.

Dive into water conservation missions where students uncover strategies to conserve this precious resource. You may introduce it in a form of a small research project: from fixing leaky faucets to designing water-efficient irrigation systems, every drop saved earns points towards achieving water sustainability goals.
