The third week of school, students will be leaving school one morning headed to an environmental education center on the Chesapeake Bay. Then camping at night (maybe tents, maybe cabins). Day two includes a visit to Historic London Town and Gardens where students will learn about what life was like in colonial times in this geographical area. Students will reflect on how things have changed over time in terms of human population and behavior as well as the health of the Chesapeake Bay.
