Manchester's Universal Preschool Students are currently working on finalizing their Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle Unit, a fun and educational part of their Creative Curriculum. As a part of their unit culmination, Mrs. Cataldo's preschool class at Whiting Elementary School had a special guest today to learn about composting!
Mr. Morris is not only a Manchester Township Middle School teacher and coach, but a proud parent and a fierce composter! He came to visit the preschool class this morning to discuss what composting is, how it works, and share how his family not only composts but how they use the compost to help naturally fertilize their property.
Mr. Morris read to the students a book about composting and, before going back to his classroom at MTMS, left the students with ingredients for a "dirt dessert" so that they could put together their own edible compost "bucket" complete with crushed Oreos, chocolate pudding, and gummy worms. Thank you for a wonderful lesson, Mr. Morris, that helped our youngest learners to dive deeper into the benefits of composting!
