First Grade Connects Across Campuses to Visit Peace Valley Nature Center

First graders from the Swain and Downtown Campus connected again as friends when they went on a field trip together to Peace Valley Nature Center.  

They started their field trip at Peace Valley Nature Center for a program about seeds to enhance their science curriculum. The children from the two campuses were grouped together for a seed hunt. They found seeds and worked as a team to determine how the seeds can travel-by wind, water, or animal. They also recognized by observation why 

seeds are an important food source for many animals, including us! It was great fun exploring this beautiful park with all the first grade friends.

They traveled to Kids Castle Playground in Doylestown and enjoyed a picnic lunch. Lastly, they explored an amazing castle playground. The children ran, played, climbed, and chatted with their first grade friends! There were so many smiles and sounds of laughter that filled the air. It has been great fun connecting and collaborating with all first graders!
