Second Grade Field Trip to Audubon Our Second Graders traversed the vast property at Greenwich Audubon, searching for signs of erosion and other environmental impacts of the water cycle. It was a lot of walking, but they got to see evidence of an ancient glacier, which made it all worth it.

Third Grade Field Trip to Bush-Holley According to many Third Graders we spoke with, an old-fashioned potty was one of the highlights of their field trip to the historic home of Sarah Bush. They also enjoyed making corn husk dolls, while exploring what it would be like to live in colonial times.
