Our field trip will be June 3, 2019

We will be doing a nature tour of Chartier's Creek. Come to school as you would normally attend.

There is no cost for this field trip. I will provide all necessary supplies.

Students should pack a lunch and beverage.

Students should dress accordingly. Please watch the weather and be prepared to get mud on your shoes.

Students will dismiss just as they would on a regular school day.

Itinerary:

    -Hike to Chartier's Creek

    -Examine the strata of rock layers.

    -Provide a brief history of the importance of Chartier's Creek all the way back before the French and Indian War.

    -Dissect owl pellets and reconstruct the skeleton of their digested prey. COOL!

    -Perform a stream survey to collect any macroinvertebrates or vertebrates in the creek.

    -In the method of Darwin, Audubon, and Jefferson, the students will do an artistic rendering of the samples we collect from the stream using an Aqua Globe.

    -We will then hike back to SPS and have lunch.

    -Lastly we will engage in an epic kickball game until dismissal(if time permits.)
