The children were totally engaged during our recent field trip to the Gloucester Maritime and Whale Museum. They were fascinated by the skeletons of whales and dolphins, learned how to identify whales by the patterns displayed on their fluke tails, enjoyed humming to snails to encourage them to come out of their shells, watched the skates submerge under the sand to hide and camouflage themselves, created fish prints and looked through microscopes to identify animal (zooplankton) and plant (phytoplankton) plankton.
The weather was absolutely perfect for our picnic lunch at the park and your children were respectful learners and listeners. I am so thankful to the parent chaperones for their support and supervision to ensure we had a safe and engaging experience, Mr. Campagna, Mrs. de Buy Wenniger, Mrs. Palazzolo, and Mrs. Zamagni thank you for spending the day with us to ensure a memorable hands-on experience.
Take a peek below and see some of the highlights of our fabulous day in Gloucester!
Thank you for this! Beautiful way to feel part of it all!
ReplyDeleteThe children represented Steward School beautifully and shared all they had learned in class, I couldn't have been more proud of them.
