🌊 The emerging kelp industry in Maine presents exciting opportunities for sustainability and innovation.

Join us in celebrating their learning journey, where attendees may have the chance to sample various kelp dishes.
This week, our Kindergarten students engaged in a hands-on learning experience focused on hermit crabs, a sea creature native to Phippsburg. 🦀 They are developing essential skills in care and responsibility as they prepare to welcome two new hermit crabs into their classroom "crabitat." Our upcoming celebration of learning will highlight their discoveries and insights. Educating young minds about marine life fosters curiosity and environmental stewardship.

Such initiatives are vital for protecting local species and supporting the livelihoods of our diggers.

Mrs. Tardif's Kindergarten class was so happy to see the sun today!
Mrs. Tardif's Kindergarten class had fun with Math and Science. They were able to play several math games this week in Kindergarten. We enjoyed "Roll it," "The Disappearing Train Game," and "The Sneaky Snacky Squirrel Game."
They also used the Promethean board to create different insects - with head, thorax, wings and antennas. They love using this technology in our room - sometimes even competing in teams!
Pre-K to 5th grade students participated in the reading incentive program Bikes for Books, sponsored by Solar Star Lodge #14 AF&AM of Bath. Here are a few very happy winners.

Last week, the fifth grade students visited the vernal pools behind our school, guided by the dedicated members of the Phippsburg Conservation Committee. 🌊🐸 A huge thank you to our community volunteers: Ellen Winchester, Michelle and Mark Holdridge, and Terry Whetstone! 🙌 The students collected salamander and frog eggs to observe in our classroom aquarium. What a fantastic way to learn about local ecosystems!
Phippsburg students in fourth grade explored Jewell Cemetery last week with Mr. Vande and his father, Mr. Hunter! These dedicated volunteers are keeping our history alive. Learning about our ancestors is a beautiful way to connect with our community roots.
