Let's design a park! This April STEM activity is a great way to combine project based learning in 2nd grade with Earth Day Writing. Students receive a letter from Mayor Seedling of Greenville to put together a proposal for a new park in their city. Students must work together to create a design, highlight top features of their park and write a letter back to the mayor convincing him to choose their design.
