We had a spectacular time at the Great Bay Discovery Center yesterday! The students were split into 5 groups to learn in different stations. They learned about how the Great Bay was an essential resource to both Native Americans and settlers. They saw lots of different animals native to the area, became archaeologists who learned about the past, explored a real gundalow, and walked through the estuary habitat. Here's what the class had to say about their trip...
