Today our Summer Library Program took learning beyond the pages and onto the water!
A huge thank you to the Bayfront Maritime Center for welcoming us to their beautiful lakeside facilities. Our students had an incredible hands-on experience learning about the history of our local ships and Bayfront, practicing teamwork, tying strong knots, exploring the parts and roles of a sailboat, and even learning how to spot “puffs” on the water.
What made the day even more exciting was seeing the connection between these activities and the book our 7th and 8th graders are currently reading together. Concepts and details they've encountered in the story came to life right before their eyes, giving them a deeper understanding and a chance to truly visualize what they're reading.
Experiences like these remind us that books can open doors to adventures both on and off the page. Thank you again to the Bayfront Maritime Center for helping make reading come alive! ⚓💙
