Hampton Bays Kindergartners Get Lesson in Composting

In honor of Earth Day, Mary Motz’s kindergarten class at Hampton Bays Elementary School recently participated in a lesson in composting.

During the lesson, the students, took part in a compost sorting activity and read a book about Earth Day.

They also used recycled milk cartons, tissue paper and glue to make their own compost buckets.
