Day 1 comes to an end

The kids had a great afternoon learning about abiotic and biotic factors...make sure you quiz them when they get home as to what those terms mean. Dinner this evening featured pasta with or without sauce, delicious garlic bread, roasted squash, and garden salad. You can see video below of them gobbling down their dinner. After dinner, they had a crossword puzzle "dessert quiz" where they work together for dessert at their dining table to reinforce the lessons of the day.

Their evening lesson after dinner was Marine Lab which is a prelude to tomorrow's excursion to the Biddeford Tide Pools. They learned about the different tidal zones and what species live in each. The students were also prepared on how to walk on the rocks and stay away from the dreaded black rocks...those that have slippery algae growing on them! It is now 9:51pm and I am sitting in my room and all I can hear is the surf outside, all boys (I can't speak for the girls dorm) are sound asleep. Day 1 has come to a peaceful end.
