Sheffield Cove field trip

These are some of the pictures from our FABULOUS field trip. This year, we used a STEAM approach. (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, Math)


Students spent the morning at Sheffield Cove. Many thanks to adult volunteers, Steve Patterson from OGRE, Phil Larson, and the innovative ideas of Ms. Richer, Mrs. Maione, and Mrs. Shoemaker.

For math, students did a analysis of tides. For the arts, students were led through a creative writing process.
In science, students helped collect data on the efforts to restore the RI Wild Oyster, an endangered species. This project is run by Roger Williams University.

What a successful day!!
Great job superstar students!!!
