Grade 1 students, the 3Rs and Worm Composting

Ms. Kutschenreuter is the Primary Environmental Stewardship Coordinator at Dover campus. She visited the Grade assembly and was impressed that Grade 1 students already knew so much about caring for their environment.

The students talked about the 3Rs - Reduce, Reuse and Recycle. They also sang along with the video about going green. Ms. Whitehead's class have been helping with a worm composter and feeding the worms fruit and vegetable peels for the past couple of months. The students were excited to touch some of the worms and intrigued as to how they broke down banana peels into soil. They also learned about ‘worm tea’ and how it helps plants grow.

We're going green...
