PBL in Room 6 is off to a great start. Each student on the 2nd grade team spends two days with a 2nd grade teacher learning about a topic within our theme "Dig a Little Deeper". When students spend two days in Room 6 their first day is spent with Recycle Rhondha from CSWD (Chittenden Solid Waste District). Recycle Rhonda teaches students how to make plant food instead of trash gas. Recycle Rhonda does this by teaching students about compost. Students learn about the FBI agents found in compost the F stands for fungus, the B stands for bacteria and the I stands for invertebrates. Students then get to dig through real compost to find these FBI agents! A video of photographs from the first two compost sessions of 2nd Grade PBL are below.
On the 2nd day of the composting session students work with a partner to create a video to help all of Porters Points School learn how to compost breakfast! Starting during the 2018-2019 students in every classroom at PPS will watch the video. As a result of these 2nd graders hard work every classroom in the building will be composting breakfast -- WOW! This is really powerful work our 2nd graders are doing to make the earth a healthier and greener place to live!
