Sadly, there will be no more field trips until January. We are on cloud nine in Cerrito Creek right now with all this great weather and outdoor learning. Thank you again and again for all the driving, parents. My gift to you: five questions to ask your child around the dinner table tonight to help consolidate information from our recent trips.
- What are five creatures you found roaming (or stuck to the side of) the tide pools of Duxbury Reef?
- What are the three characteristics that distinguish a male from a female elephant seal?
- What are three differences between a harbor seal and a sea lion?
- Which season is pupping season for elephant seals?
- Sing one chorus from the cheesy song we learned about sharks.
No homework, otherwise.
