Objective 1.1 Environmental Issue Instruction 4
Several classes engage in vermiculture. Red worms are raised in the classrooms with the students taking care of them and using the casings to fertilize the school vegetable gardens. These mini eco-systems are living examples to the students of classroom learning that involves ecology, math, biology, and recycling. From using the school's shredded paper and appropriate leftover food garbage to putting the casting in the vegetable gardens, the students are learning to care for the earth.
