For the past several weeks, we have been checking our landfill to see what is decomposing - the apple and bread are starting to look pretty gross! As an extension of this activity, today we did a sort of materials that will decompose and materials that will not decompose. Students helped sort materials on the Smartboard and then recorded their thoughts in their notebooks. After sorting the materials, we took a closer look at materials that will not decompose and talked about alternatives to putting these items into a landfill. Students did not need any prompting to share that many of these items can be recycled. Bebel proudly shared that you can always reuse old toys and clothes by donating them to someone who needs them. Excellent thinking!

I love teaching kindergarten literacy at STEM! It is amazing to be a part of the reading and writing growth of a kindergarten student. You get to see kids move from knowing some letters and sounds to being enthusiastic readers and young authors. Archives
