On Friday, February 10, several Green Team students spent the
afternoon teaching about composting to the students at Country View Elementary
School in Winfield. The principal of Country View invited the Green Team to
come and present as part of a rotation of hands on activities for the students
in grade Kindergarden through 4th grade.
Green Team students Sydnee Nelson and Tendai Kwaramba
developed a presentation focused on composting. They taught about the
importance of recycling and that organic materials can be turned into compost
which is good for gardens. Nelson and Kwaramba borrowed some compost from Alex
Gottlob, local landscaping businessman and allowed the students to dig around
in it and see what materials they could find.
The same 20 minute presentation was made to seven different
groups of students throughout the afternoon. Green Team students Shea Wilson
and Daniel Van Sickle also participated.
