West Eugene Wetlands Field Trip

I am excited to announce our first field trip of the year!  To enhance our classroom learning we are going to the West Eugene Wetlands to become wetland science explorers. This is an educational and engaging trip designed to provide hands-on, minds-on learning through explorations of the wetlands. The West Eugene Wetlands is home to a myriad of many precious plants and wildlife. During the field trip we will discuss the importance of these wetlands, their role in the ecosystem and share ways we can care for these unique habitats. On September 29th, we leave Camas Ridge at precisely 9:00 am, and return at 11:30 am.  We are in need of 5 or 6 chaperones to join in on our adventure. Please look in your child's Friday Folder for more information. :)

Next Generation Science Standards addressed in this unit of study/field experience are:
* Make observations of plants and animals to compare the diversity of life in different habitats.
* There are many different kinds of living things in any area, and they exist in different places on land and in water.
