When:  Monday, October 29, 2018 (*rain date11/5/18)

Who:    Second Grade Classes

What:  We will depart from New Boston Central School at approximately 8:15. Combining both science and social studies curriculum, we will take part in a walking tour of our beautiful town.  For the first part, volunteers from the Historical Society will lead a short presentation at the Historical Society, then guide us on a walking tour of several sites; including the Historical Society, Nan’s House, The Northeast Café, Parker Mill, the site of the old Ice House, and the town library.  Students will learn the rich history of these sites, and compare that to life in our town, now.  Another component of our tour will be exploring the woodland habitat along the Mill Pond trail, across the new footbridge, and ending at the Whipple Free Library.  At the library, the children will receive a tour, and hear about its history, and how the library operates.  Along the trail, children will explore and observe the rich plant and animal life, as well as the changes that have occurred due to weather and man.    Children will also enjoy a brief snack, either at the library or in Parker’s field.

We will then return to New Boston Central School, on foot, in time for lunch by 11:20.

 

*Students will need to bring a snack to carry and consume on the field trip.
