Mrs. Nunes, Mrs. Wagstaff, Mrs. Lamb, Ms. Swartzendruber – Kindergarten

This grant will enable the entire kindergarten class to attend a winter program at Moose Hill Wildlife Sanctuary to learn about maple, trees, the history of maple sugaring, and the production of maple syrup.  This program offers kindergarten teachers a way to enhance the existing science curriculum unit on trees.  The field trip “offers a natural extension that involves a hands-on experience with a common native tree to our area.”  In addition to the scheduled trip, children will be reading about and discussing trees, maple syrup, sugaring and will be utilizing tree growing kits in the classroom.
