At LCA, we ❤ field trips!
👉Tide pooling fun at the Seacoast Science Center for students in grades 2 & 3! 🌊
👉Native American learning at Mt. Kearsarge Indian Museum for students in grades 4 & 5! 🍂
Second and third-grade students listened to a naturalist describe the different creatures they might find – small lobsters, hermit crabs, sea urchins, green crabs, and rock gunnels – before they explored the tide pools themselves. Students found many hermit crabs and green crabs and one student even found a baby sea urchin!
Mrs. Officer said, "This field trip aligned well with what the second graders are learning in science: warm blooded and cold blooded animals, as well as classifying animals."
At Mt. Kearsarge Indian Museum in Warner, fourth and fifth-grade students were given a guided tour from which they learned about Native American culture, art, and the lifestyles of various tribes throughout the United States. They also toured their "medicine woods," learning about different plants Native Americans used for medicinal purposes.
Mrs. Mitchell said, "We're studying Native American culture as part of our current ELA module and our American history class. This was a perfect fit."
