We have had a very busy day here at Ferry Beach. After our beach and dune lesson this morning and lunch of Pizza, students had lessons to choose today. Some of their choices were: Forest Olympics, Beach Relaxation, Shelter Building, Recycled Art, Cooking Apple-rhubarb tart (yes, it was delicious...thank you Robert), Hike to the State Forest, and others.
In the evening, the kids were on an Eco-Quest. Using different factors of Productivity, Disturbance, Nutrients,and Diversity, plus a map of Ferry Beach, they had to find the Ecosystem on the property based on the different levels of the above factors. The students in my group did a great job and worked through each factor to find the correct ecosystem.
It has been a quite a week with many success stories. Your children are now in bed awaiting their final lesson tomorrow called Connections...Connecting all they have learned this week, so it all makes sense. Then we will load the buses, and we can all re-connect with our families. Good final night...I will hopefully post one final blog tomorrow before we depart from Ferry Beach. See you tomorrow Rowley!
