May Highlights!

May has been an exciting month.

At the beginning of the month we had a fun field trip to Estabrooks to celebrate Arbor Day.  The students had a great time building fairy houses, listening to a book about fairy houses, and learning about bugs that harm trees.


We kicked off our unit about the ocean with a visit from Carol Steingart from Coastal Encounters.
The children learned about how plants and animals in tidepools survive.  Then students had a chance to see and touch over 40 different types of plants and animals from the Maine coast.
