On Friday 5th and 6th graders went to Acadia National Park, where they learned a great deal about bird migration and why the biologists put bands on them. Students saw the mist nets, which are used to capture the birds, and how the birds get weighed. They even saw Mars, but you will have to ask your child about that sighting. We even had lunch on top of Cadillac Mountain.
