Millburn Fifth Graders Study Oceanography at Sandy Hook

South Mountain School’s fifth grade classes had “a whale of a time” during their field trip to Sandy Hook, New Jersey on Oct. 6.

By going on this trip, the fifth graders had the opportunity to make their learning come alive while smelling the ocean air and engaging in hands-on educational activities.

The South Mountain School students have been studying oceanography since the beginning of the school year.

“This trip provided very real evidence of all that they will be learning throughout that unit of study,” Stacey McGarr of the South Mountain School publicity committee said. The weather was perfect, the fish were jumping, and every fifth grade scientist was learning!”
