On Thursday, we will kick off our year long study of ‘Water’ and the Water Cycle with our first field trip to Hammonasset Beach State Park and the new Nature Center.

We will be learning about and exploring the 3 Shoreline Ecosystems – Rocky Shore, Sandy Beach and Salt Marsh.  This will be the beginning of our travels in first grade as we focus on the book…” A Drop Around the World.” The story, engagingly leads readers around the world following a drop of water – whether as steam or snow, inside a plant or animal, or underground- teaching the wonders and importance of the water cycle.      

  On Thursday, please send your child to school with the following items:

* a hearty snack

* rain boots or muck boots (with socks)

* shorts or long pants that can tuck into boots

* layers - wear layers that can be taken off if weather warms-up

* jacket

* change of clothes and sneakers (please include socks) packed in

     a plastic bag
