Scripps Ocean Partnership Celebration Week - February 8-12

This year marks the first year of the exciting partnership between Rancho Santa Fe School and Birch Aquarium at Scripps and Scripps Institution of Oceanography. So many wonderful learning opportunties have already come from the partnership. Students are engaged in field studies within local marine habitats, art collaboration with a visiting artist, presentations by researchers and more. During the week of February 8th, we will be celebrating this new partnership with a series of special activities for students. A sample of activites is listed below:

 

• Performances by the Banana Slug String Band http://www.bananaslugstringband.com/
  
• Wyland Clean Water Challenge Mobile Learning Center will be parked on our school grounds for classes to visit. (Be sure to take a look on the field for it!) http://www.wylandoceanchallenge.org/index.cfm?mid=6
• "Ocean Garbage Patch" presentation by UCSD researchers for fifth grade http://www.nsf.gov/news/news_summ.jsp?cntn_id=1154813rd grade field study to local wetlands
• And more still to come. . .

 

Please be sure to ask your child about these learning experiences. We are so fortunate to be able to provide such rich learning opportunities for our students related to the important concept of the ocean. Thank you to the Rancho Santa Fe Education Foundation for supporting the partnership.
