WORMS!

Today we had Marilyn from Red Wriggler Haven come in and give us a presentation on the red wriggler worm.  I had started a vermicomposting bin in my classroom in September and the students had some knowledge of seeing it and knowing what it was for, but not how it works and why it is important.
Today, Marilyn joined us to show us how to separate the compost from the worms and how to restart the bin.  If you have any questions, or would like to pop by and see our vermicomposter....I would love to see you!
It was great to see numerous students really "get their hands dirty" and help with the sorting of the worms!
Thanks everyone!
