Classroom Worm Compost Bins

We have started Worm Compost Bins in 5 Caleb classrooms!

Students were taught by Green Docents a worm composting lesson which included reasons for worm composting (reduce school lunch waste), what worms can/can't eat, started worm bin (added bedding, food scraps, and worms, and begun worm journals.
Students will fill a 16 oz container with lunch food scraps (fruit/veggie scraps) every monday, wednesday, and friday. Thanks to teachers/classrooms who now have worm bins!
~Mr.Myers and Mrs.Ching's 2nd grade
~Mrs. Kitowski's and Mrs.Pascoe/Aguirre's 1st grade
~Mrs. Lee's 3rd grade

An outdoor worm bin was also started and will be a learning bin for Kindergarten and other classrooms!
