Waste sorting is one of the important steps in sustainable environmental management. However, elementary school students' awareness in sorting organic and non-organic waste is still relatively low. This can have an impact on increasing the volume of waste that is not managed properly, which ultimately contributes to environmental pollution. This community service aims to measure the effectiveness of the use of two-compartment trash bins in improving students' understanding of waste sorting. The method used is observation with an action study approach on elementary school students. The results of observations after socialization showed an increase in students' understanding after the use of two-compartment trash bins, which was reflected in the increased accuracy in disposing of waste into the appropriate compartment. The use of two-compartment trash bins has proven effective in increasing students' awareness and habits in sorting waste.

This community service aims to improve the understanding of grade 4 students of SDN 173632 Parparean III, Porsea in learning nominal tens in English. There are still many elementary school students who have difficulty in recognizing, pronouncing, and writing tens in English correctly. This problem can hinder the development of their basic English skills, especially in terms of counting and daily conversation. To overcome these problems, this community service activity implements an innovative learning method that combines educational games, visual media, and interactive pronunciation techniques. The goal is to create a fun learning atmosphere and motivate students to actively participate in the learning process. The approach used is Classroom Action Research (CAR), with data collection through direct observation, short interviews with class teachers, and oral comprehension tests before and after the intervention. The results of the observation showed a significant increase in students' ability to understand and use tens in English after the method was applied. Thus, this learning method has proven effective and can be used as a reference or alternative strategy in teaching English at the elementary school level, especially for numbers and figures.

Learning motivation is a key factor in students' academic success. This study aims to analyze the effect of intrinsic rewards, extrinsic rewards, and punishments on elementary school students' learning motivation. Using the literature review method, this research examines various literatures related to the application of reward and punishment strategies in education. The results show that appropriately given rewards can enhance both intrinsic and extrinsic motivation in students. Intrinsic rewards, such as a sense of achievement and self-pride, encourage students to continue learning and develop independently, while extrinsic rewards, such as praise or gifts, provide external incentives that reinforce student motivation. On the other hand, punishments applied wisely can instill discipline and improve students' learning focus. However, rewards are found to be more effective in increasing student motivation compared to punishments, as rewards create a positive and enjoyable learning environment. Punishments, if overused or applied inappropriately, can negatively affect student motivation and lead to stress or fear. This study also shows that a combination of both approaches—rewards and punishments—when applied in the right balance, can produce optimal results in supporting students' academic development. These findings provide important implications for educators in designing effective learning strategies to enhance students' learning motivation, as well as the importance of a balanced and thoughtful approach to students' needs and characteristics.

This service aims to analyze the improvement of learning quality at SD Negeri 173653 Nalela through the application of additional learning methods. This activity was carried out by HKBP Nommensen University students involved in the Community Service Practice Lecture (KPPM) program.
