Grade three has been excited to have "guests" with them for much of this fall. These guests turn waste into something of value? Students check in on their guests frequently to see how they are doing, but never hear a peep from them.
Who are these guests? Worms!
A worm hotel of sorts has been active in grade three this fall. Students are adding scraps, moisture, and are turning the soil from time to time to watch how these decomposers work. This is an ongoing effort while students have been deep in the study of the distinction between dirt and soil as they learn about how God designs soil systems to work, and how we have responsibilities to be wise stewards.
This is memorable learning that links students to God's amazing world. I can't help but wonder if this will be one of the things they recall later in life about their elementary school years. I'm thankful for these tangible, hands-on ways in which our students have the chance to grow.
And I'm thankful for God's gift of worms.
