This year, both elementary and primary classes started composting. Although Ms. Grogan and I started the concept in the primary class last year, we are now conducting more conversations on what we can compost and share more information on how this process works. The class saw the need to minimize garbage and are becoming aware of what can be converted to fertilizers for our plants and trees. The students are now more conscious of what we can throw in trash, recycling and compost bins.
Everyday at recess, the children throw the leftover fruits, flowers and vegetables we accumulated into our new compost bin. They add dry leaves and mix them together. Soon they will see their compost stew turn into fertilizer for our garden. We hope it will be ready by Spring!
