We had a very exciting 1st day of Project Based Learning in 2nd Grade! Students in Room 6 were broken up into four different groups. Each group went to a different 2nd grade classroom. Students really enjoyed interacting with a different 2nd grade teachers and working with peers from various 2nd grade classrooms. Mrs. Ryan's project focuses on how bees help pollinate plants and flowers. Mrs. Bissonnette's project is helping our school collect water by making and painting rain barrels. Mr. Shepard is helping students understand that gardening can happen in unique ways (such as on a roof top) and Ms. LaRose's project focuses on how we are going to start vermicomposting at Porters Point School -- composting with worms!
Photographs below are from Ms. LaRose's project. A big thank you to Recycle Rhonda from CSWD (Chittenden Solid Waste District) who will be coming in during each session to help Ms. LaRose teach students about vermicomposting. Additionally, CSWD is providing PPS with all the materials needed to start vermicomposting in each 2nd grade classroom!
