March Activity: FOOD WASTE

COMPOST: Waste to Wonder!

We had a brainstorming session about how to repurpose leftover fruit and fruit peels after our Fruit Day in class. Then, we blended all the leftovers and peels in a food processor to turn them into compost. We let the compost sit for a few days and then mixed it into the soil. We used the compost water to nourish our flowers. We planted our crops in the compost-enriched soil, and they grew very quickly. The flowers we watered with compost water became much healthier. 🌱🍎🌿

Watering the flower As they worked, I guided them with simple instructions and encouraged them to describe what they were doing (e.g., "I'm putting the flower in the soil."). After planting, each child labeled their flower with their name to track its growth over time and decorated the can with paper.
