Worm Composting

My students need a worm composter and worms to learn how to reduce, reuse, recycle and to contribute to a sustainable future.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Wong's classroom raised $275

My Students

I enjoy when students walk into a classroom and never want to leave. So far I've been blessed with classes that enjoy being in the classroom. I believe in making learning fun. I was the kind of student who learned best from hands-on activities and I believe that it is beneficial and fun to all students.

I work in an inclusion setting with students with special needs.

It is my hope to teach my students to be able to live in a world that they can contribute in.

My Project

This year I would like my students to learn more about sustainability. It is my goal for them to learn how to create a sustainable future that they can contribute to.

With these worms and composting bin, I plan to teach my students how to reduce, reuse and recycle in a fun way.

My students enjoy bugs and worms and I will use that interest to engage their learning.

I also plan on incorporating a garden as soon as the soil will be ready. This way I can also teach my students how to grow their own food. To create a sustainable future for themselves.
