The 3/4 multi age has been out and about, and enjoying lots of activities in our local community. We had a fun cruise on the River Tripper last week, seeing seals, birds, and oyster farms. This week, we learned about lichens, as well as the structure and functions of trees, at Hidden Valley Nature Center. We also had time for a fun round of “bear-salmon-mosquito”. We are so lucky to live in a community with great opportunities for our students!
3/4 multiage and third enjoyed a magical day at the Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens. Students enjoyed a pond investigation, hunting for trolls, building fairy houses, and playing in the Children’s Garden. It was such a joy filled day! Thanks to our family volunteers for making it possible.
CLC YMCA TRUNK OR TREAT!
