FALL EARTH CLUB NEWS

Have you ever made a bed for a red wriggler worm Well the fourth grade members of the

Earth Club had this opportunity when they cleaned out the indoor composting bin The students

learned that composting continues the process of recycling which is giving back to the environ-

ment -- namely fertilizer for our flower garden

Students were able to incorporate the humus (the byproduct from the worms) into our flower

garden In addition they cleaned out the outdoor composting bin which is used for our leftover

fruit and vegetable scraps from lunchroom

Outdoor Earth Club Activities for the Fall

―Planting the Promise ndash Members will plant red tulip bulbs in honor of Red Ribbon Week

Weeding and pruning the garden

Planting mums around the flagpole

Indoor Earth Club Activities (Focusing on Conserving Energy)

Signs were made reminding people to turn off lights when they leave their room

Limits set for the amount of paper towels used in the bathroom

Posters will be created for our ―No Waste Lunch initiative

The students are looking forward to providing an Earth Club presentation at an upcoming PTA

meeting Watch for details
