Field Trip: Echo Lake Aquarium & Science Center

On Monday, October 14th, we'll be traveling to Burlington to visit the Echo Lake Aquarium and Science Center as part of our theme unit on Organisms. While at the Center, we will have an opportunity to explore all of the permanent exhibits, "Cool Moves: the Artistry of Motion" exhibit, and to participate in the hands-on "Life in Lake Champlain Program," where we will learn the characteristics and classification of some of the 400 species of invertebrates that call the Lake home.



 

A few reminders for our field trip:

• We will be leaving RES promptly at 9:00 am and returning by 1:00 pm. Students should be prepared to walk to/from the bus to Echo, walk around Echo, and participate in a hands-on program.


• We will be eating a picnic lunch at Echo.  Third graders should bring a healthy lunch from home OR order a field trip lunch from RES.


• Chaperones need to meet at RES at 8:45 to review field trip expectations and to join us on the bus.  If alternate arrangements are needed, please coordinate with your child's classroom teacher ahead of time.
