My Project

My students are amazing little scholars. They love learning and new experiences.

I am excited about teaching them the importance of recycling and reusing items.

I plan on using this mini composter to show them how they can transform their food scraps into soil that they can use to plant in their reusable planters and fill the classroom terrarium.

I think the experience will be a long-lasting lesson that they will take home and share with their families and hopefully inspire them to reuse and recycle as they grow into adulthood.
