A Classroom by the River

Fourth graders at Happy Hollow School in Wayland finished their study of river habitats with a field trip to Great Meadows National Wildlife Refuge as part of our River Schools program. They explored the Sudbury River and a nearby pond, and compared their observations of the macroinvertebrates and water quality, which they recorded using iPads and hand-written data sheets.

There is nothing quite like the joys of hands-on, outdoor learning!
