Munch Munch Wiggle Wiggle...Ask a First Grader to Sing the Rest

First graders figure out what belongs in compost.  Here's  some of what they discovered.

Using my best first gradese I would guess: worms, pumpkin, rolly polly, ..rocks..Help!

 And then they put together their own worm bin by:

Cutting up discarded veggies for worms to munch.

Separating worms from compost.

Wetting newspaper worm bedding.
