3B friends proudly share the responsibility of taking care of the compost bin and making sure that our worms get what they need to feel good in their new home. Each and every day we learn more and more about composting, today we were happy to share our knowledge with our friends from the pre-k room.
One of the things that we shared was how we make sure that worms have a slightly damp, but not too wet, environment. Alisha carefully demonstrated how to spray some water then passed the bottle to her friends so that everyone could have a turn spraying the bedding.
Also, we shared everything that we know about compost worms’ diet. The children mentioned that worms eat food that comes from nature and our classroom’s table. We explained that we try to save most of our plant-based food scraps and feed it to worms.
Most importantly, pre-k friends were so interested that they would like to join us and save their food scraps to help take care of the worms and feed our compost. The best way to learn is through teaching others!
