Yesterday and today, our first grade classes enjoyed a field trip to Sturgeon City where they participated in learning about the basic needs of plants, push and pull physics, sharks, went to a planetarium show as well as a wetland walk. 🌳🌷⭐🦈
Surf City families have been showing our Kindergarten, First Grade, and EC Department some love! Here is what they have to say:
Check out Mrs. O'Brien's 3rd grade class. They've been busy working on timelines from their new story, Coming to America!
Our 3rd grade classes welcomed instructors with The Coastal Land Trust yesterday in preparation for their trip to Everett Creek, one of many protected areas thanks to CLT. They learned about the parts of a plant needed for pollination and left with their own seedlings. 🌱
