Worms! ! ! January 24th

We have the thrill of hosting a whole bunch of wriggly Red Wrigglers in our classrooms for the next six weeks.  We'll be vermicomposting (worm composting), learning about how we can do this ourselves.  Assuming all goes well, we will get a lot of great castings from the worms, which we can use to grow more plants in the spring.  Students learned how to handle them, how to tell how old they were, how composting works and why it's helpful for the environment.
