Third Grade Storms the Beaches

Macdonough third graders took a field trip to Meigs Point Nature Center at Hammonasset State Park to learn about animal adaptations.  There they learned about snakes, turtles, and sea creatures and the adaptations that help animals survive.  After that they ate lunch at the pavilion and then got to relax on the beach.  A day full of fun and learning.
