This week the first grade classes took field trips the Salt Marsh Nature Center in Marine Park to enhance their science unit about insects.
First graders have been learning about the different characteristics of insects and the important roles that they play in our ecosystem. Classes toured the Salt Marshes with Urban Park Rangers and discussed the different insects and the ways they interact with their environment. Students were then invited inside of the Nature Center to learn more about many of the animals that live in the salt marshes. Before breaking for a picnic lunch, students were invited to become “nature detectives” to sort through compost looking for different insects that had been discussed throughout the day.A great, buggy time was had by all!![]()
