Thousand Island Nature Center

Field Trip

Kaukauna

Thursday, April 25

8:30 AM - 2:45 PM

Arrangements have been made for our third graders to experience an environmental education field trip to the Thousand Island Nature Center in Kaukauna. Students will visit learning stations, all related to the study of birds. They will also take a group hike to view the habitat of birds in this area, including the bald eagles' nest. This field trip is a very good educational extension to our informational writing project on birds and our science curriculum.

Each student should hand carry a healthy bag lunch and a beverage, as we will be eating at the center. We will travel by bus, leaving school at about 8:30 AM and returning at 2:45 PM. Please watch the weather for Thursday and dress appropriately for that day. Wear hiking shoes, too.

Students will be supervised by their classroom teachers and parent volunteers. If you are interested in volunteering, please contact me. Our bus is full with the students, so volunteers will need to drive to the nature center. Volunteers do not need to pay the $5.00

The cost of the all day experience is $5.00 per student. This covers the entrance fee to the nature center and transportation. This money should be brought to school by Thursday, April 25.

I'm looking forward to sharing the experience at Thousand Island Nature Center with my students.
