"Dirt Makes My Lunch" teaches 4- and 5-year-old children about the importance of the very ground they walk on. Soil has an intricate composition, which they learn about by getting "down in the dirt" and handling worms, leaves, nests, pine needles, and many of the other things that decompose in order to make soil. Roaring Brook Nature Center, where the class is held, has been education children and other visitors about nature since 1948.
