Trip to Little Cranberry Island
Fifth Grade - Science - Make sure to finish your vocabulary if you haven't already.
Wow! What a great trip we had to little Cranberry Island. The ocean and scenery was just majestic! How about the porpoises and the eagle? It was amazing to see an eagle soar down in front of us and watch the porpoises sail effortlessly through the turbulent sea. It is sooo great to live in Maine! We also learned so many interesting facts about living on an island in Maine during the 1800's.
