This afternoon Recycle Rhonda visited Kindergarten today.  We were able to observe worms and talk about how they help keep our compost healthy!  We now have worms that we are taking care of in Kindergarten.  We are feeding them once a week, keeping their bedding wet with water and using shredded newspaper to keep them comfortable.

Composting with Recycle Rhonda

Today we learned about composting. We also talked about how worms are great decomposers of the soil because they eat the compost which makes the soil rich and great for planting. Next week we will all be bringing home a special card to keep in the kitchen so we can put stickers on it that come on our fruits and vegetables. This way we are making less waste that would go in the landfill.

This morning Recycle Rhonda visited Kindergarten.  We were able to learn about a landfill and what it is and how it impacts land.  We learned a lot about the 3 R's too!  
We learned that: 
Vermont has 1 landfill.
We need to reduce the amount of trash we produce to help keep our world healthy.
Each person can produce 1 trash bag of trash a day.  We are thinking about how we can reduce that.
