We had an AWESOME Week!

We had a great week with the weather and with your children. They are now more knowledgeable, more together as a 5th grade...and more independent! Be proud of your kids! See you soon Pine Grove!

Justin Time!

After being out sick all week, we were happy to see Justin arrive for the final day!

Getting ready for Breakfast

Students prepare the tables for all meals at Ferry Beach. Today we had French Toast, sausage, and cereal.

Good Morning--Time to Pack up!

We were treated to another beautiful sunrise as we packed up for our final day here at Ferry Beach.

Eco-Carnival Night

Tonight was Eco-Carnival Night where the students played a variety of games that tested their knowledge of what was learned during our week here at Ferry Beach--kind of like a final exam!

Now, the kids are tucked safely into bed for their final night, dreaming of seeing their families again tomorrow.

Beach and Dunes

This afternoon the students learned about the beach and dune ecosystem. They learned about the primary dunes, secondary dunes and how they protect Ferry Beach. The kids then built mountains and the Saco River in the sand. One student was the "jetty" and they learned how the sand shifts and how erosion is affecting the beach. Most groups also did a scavenger hunt to find biotic and abiotic items on the beach.

Somewhere over the rainbow!

Wow, check this out! Minutes after returning from our Beach and Dune lesson, a thunderstorm rattled through Ferry Beach.
