Help me give my students materials to learn about composting with this Suncast Tumbling Composter, Worm Factory 360 Composter, books and starter Red Wrigglers.
The students I work with at our school can be described as eager to learn through active experience. Some students come to me with little background knowledge or experiences with technology and experiences outside of our community. They are best motivated to become active in class activities when they are given opportunities to work with concrete examples versus abstract materials. This is why having materials for them to manipulate is so important!
The area my students come from is a rural, close-knit community.
Many of them live within walking distance of the school. Many of their parents may have even attended the very same school when they were children.
This demonstrates that the heritage in this community is strong, and loyal. It also demonstrates that many of my students do not travel far from home. I want to give them the world to explore, right from my classroom! Thanks for partnering with me in this endeavor.
My Project
My elementary science students and gardening club are wriggling with excitement! We can’t wait to get started learning how Red Wriggler Worms help renew the soil and how we can help too by composting. We want to get a Suncast Tumbling composter and Worm Factory 360 composter to add to our school garden. We will set it up, care for it, and share our experience with the entire school. We maintain our school garden, but all classes are invited to get involved. We plan to encourage everyone to help us by placing compostable items in the tumbler. This will make a difference in the way we learn about how people can make a positive impact on our environment. Let’s get started and help our garden grow!
