Ellen Goethel..marine biologist

Today,we had an in-school field trip. Ellen Goethel, a marine biologist, shared her knowledge of New England Tidepool animals and animals of the Gulf of Maine. She has a wonderful program where the children are able to touch and observe a large collection of artifacts. Also, she brings a cold water tank with various creatures including lobsters, sea stars, hermit crabs and sea anemones.

Essex Shipbuilding Museum

Our thanks to the Friends Of Cutler for funding this trip. The children enjoyed visiting the museum with their 4th grade buddies. The children rotated through 5 different stations that included a visit to the steam shed, simple machines, model boat making and a lesson on boat building. After, we picnicked in the boatyard.

Tide pooling At Pavilion Beach

What a perfect morning! The children had a delightful time exploring the tide pools.  It was so exciting to see the animals and plants we had been studying. The classroom tank is up and running. The tank is everyone's favorite spot in the classroom.
