The Third Grade Field Trip

The Third Grade Field Trip
believe this field trip was a
complete success in many ways.
Since the girls and boys have
been studying erosion and con-
servation in class, we did see eX-
cellent examples of this at the
! beaches we visited. The oppOrtun-
| ity to walk the beach and to find
sea shells and numerous other
To add a tone of mystery to our
trip we learned about the hermit
and how he lives so alone and in
dependently.
The map drawings helped us to
find our way, and the school bus
ride was a thrill for several of
the children, and, of course. the
hot chocolate treat was appreciated
by all If We could have stayed
little longer
This class of children behaved
like ladies and gentlemen, and it
| am so happy | was invited to go
along
recommend this trip to every
one.

The Field Trip
I was invited to go on a field
trip with Mr.. Plummers class. Ny
son, David, is in this third grade
section. The boys and girls had
made a map of their trip which
they carried with them, and had
lots of fun following the route
First, the long road into Fowler's
Beach was very interesting. as the
marsh is very bare this time Of the
year. The boys and girls could
see how flat the land was and
could see lots and lots OF water
in the marsh At the beach the
boys and girls saw what water can
do, explained by Mr.. Plummer,
called erosion of the beach. The
story about the little house that
sits in the woods was explained
| to them.
On the trip to Broadkill Beach
the boys and girls noticed the
land was very flat At Broadkill
Beach the dredge had gone but
huge pipes We're still in the water
They could see how sand had been
pumped out of the Delaware Bay
on to the beach. Now the beach
is much wider and the cottages
are quite distance from the water
Before leaving the beach. every
one had hot chocolate Then back
to school for lunch
There isn't any criticism l can
give about this trip. The only
thing | can say is that it was very
well planned very educational. in
teresting and not at all tiresome
Also, the boys and girls knew some
thing about what they were going
| to see as it was what they had
been studying in school 1t was
good time of the year to go for
what they wanted to see Their
teacher, Mr.. Plummer, made it a
very interesting trip for them My
son, David, did learn a lot from
this trip and I'm sure the rest of
the boys and girls did as we'll
Myself, l enjoyed it very much.

The Experiment
We had an experiment with a
candle Mr. Plummer showed us
that after he lit the candle and
put the jar over it. the light goes
out This is because there is no
more air in the jar.
Then he put lots of air in the
jar and put the jar over the candle
again, but this time the light of
the candle went away slower This
