3rd Graders Explore The Natural Habitat Of Cypress Gardens
On Friday, the 3rd grade students went on an exciting field trip to Cypress Gardens in Moncks Corner. The outing began with a a boat ride through the beautiful black water swamp filled with towering cypress and tupelo trees. The children were able to observe alligators, wading birds, and beautiful flora, all while learning about the history of the gardens.
After the boat ride, the 3rd graders learned about plants, pollination, and photosynthesis from local experts. They also learned about the stages of the butterfly life cycle and were then rewarded with a visit to the Butterfly House, filled with beautiful plant life and hundreds of butterflies.
The students finished the day with a picnic lunch and some fun on the adjacent playground. The day was filled with joy, learning, and laughter. We are sure this is a trip that will not be forgotten!
