Fall 2015 CAVOC Field Trip

Today we had our first field trip of the new school year. It is always nice to visit our School Forest! We learned about How Animals Protect Their Young, How They Protect Themselves from Predators, and Why Camouflage is Important to Animals.

Congratulations to our own students who placed in the top five!

How To Be A Wormologist

Our Spring Trip to CAVOC gave us the opportunity to become wormologists.  A Wormologist is a person who cares about worms as living things and also realizes their importance to our Earth.

How To Be a Wormologist

To learn more about worms read the book Yucky Worms by Vivian French!

First Grade CAVOC Spring Field Trip

CAVOC Spring Field Trip Video :)

We were quite curious about the animal life in a bog.  The students talked together and asked each other questions to try to figure out what was floating in the water!

After two rotations it was time for lunch.  Mr. Check offered us to try a fiddlehead fern. 

Fiddleheads or Fiddlehead greens are the furled fronds of a young fern, harvested for use as a vegetable. Left on the plant, each fiddlehead would unroll into a new frond . As fiddleheads are harvested early in the season before the frond has opened and reached its full height, they are cut fairly close to the ground. Fiddleheads have antioxidant activity, are a source of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, and are high in iron and fiberCertain varieties of fiddleheads have been shown to be carcinogenic.

WE ARE HODAGS!

Field Trips are successful because of the support we have from home.
