Start at the end

 

The END becomes the BEGINNING..

When we begin by TAKING ACTION.

It started with sorting photos of things according to many different groups: transportation, animals, plants, materials, people, nature and things.

It narrowed down to three groups:

 plants, animals, and people,

nature

and

transportation, materials, things 

But as we identified what they all have in common, we called them: 

the living and non-living things. 

They knew that all living things need food, water, air and love.  Then, the challenge of making the compost box to make healthy soil for food was given to the preschoolers! 

They courageously accepted it! 

 

With the help of the Healthy Urban Gardening (HUG) Project Parent Volunteers, the students built the cardboard compost boxes. 

They helped cut the cardboard boxes, put it together with tape, made 4 legs, lids, 

and added peat moss and charcoal.

They carried the boxes next to the planter ready for the other students to put their peelings and scraps to help create a healthy soil for planting. 

 

They started and added some banana peels collected in the preschool class during recess and lunch. 

We are looking forward to the success of this initiative in creating awareness about reducing waste in school and our household for a healthy environment.
