In this heartwarming snapshot, junior high classmates are grouped together, engaged in an activity that goes beyond the boundaries of textbooks and classrooms. They're on a journey of discovery, not just about the world around them, but about each other.
The high school LEAP field trip to Fort Popham and the beach on September 8th provided great discussions, new adventure and new knowledge. The students had been given assignments for Humanities and STEAM. The Humanities assignment was a choice between:
Writing a one page summary on the historical significance and context for Fort Popham.
OR
Reflections of the trip. What did you see? smell? feel? observe?
The STEAM assignment was to read through the printed article: The Gulf of Maine Warming Update: Spring 2023. After reading the article and experiencing Maine's coast the students were asked to list 5 important pieces of information and 5 questions they have regarding the document.
