The Ecology Center Visits Room 306

What a fun way to spend part of our Friday afternoon!  They taught us all about composting.  What it is, the kind of materials that can be composted, and the perfect “recipe” for a good compost pile.  They dug through piles of dirt to find red worms and what could be found in a compost pile.  So.  Fun.  The presenters told me they had never had such thought provoking questions from a group of fourth graders.  How great is THAT!?  They asked about global warming, the best things to put into a compost pile, and offered suggestions about how to stop useless waste.  Here are some vocabulary words we learned about:  compost, decompose, decomposers, landfill, and nutrients.  BRAVO!!
