Sustainability is a key component of our school culture and from kindergarten, students learn ways to ensure they are engaging in green practices. Within our school's science curriculum we also include one period each week for Green Living. During this time students learn about conserving water and energy, the implementation of the five R's of waste management (refuse, reduce, reuse, re-purpose, recycle), an awareness of where goods and products come from (with an emphasis on local, organic production) and how they can actively advocate for the environment. These practices are not just limited to our science curriculum but guide our social studies curriculum and are integrated within all subjects.
Creating and maintaining an aquaponics system right in our classroom will increase our students' learning about sustainable ecosystems and food production! Each year our students take part in a school-wide event called The Sustainability Fair in which the fourth grade students independently choose a habitat to study and advocate for. This aquaponics kit will be a great way to add a hands on element to enhance their research and increase students' ownership of their learning! It will help us make sure we are meeting the needs of all of our learners as well as emphasize and encourage our students to be conscious and responsible members of our society!
