Volunteer: Eastern Shore Land Trust Student Field Trips

The Eastern Shore Land Trust is seeking volunteers to assist with the following student field trips (Category 15: Eastern Shore Land Trust Children’s Field Trips):

• May 7th – Metompkin Elementary 2nd grade (3 classes/6 volunteers)
• May 9th – Metompkin Elementary 2nd grade (2 classes/4 volunteers)
• May 20th – Kegotank Elementary 1st grade ESL (11 students/1-2 volunteers)
• May 24th Kegotank Elementary 2nd grade ESL (17 students/2 volunteers)

The day will look something like this:

9:00/9:30 a.m. Students arrive

9:30 a.m. Welcome and introduction by VESLT

10 a.m. 1-2 mile nature walk with scavenger hunt

11:15 a.m. Activities – identifying bones and shells, art reflection/journaling based on the scavenger hunt

12 p.m. Lunch (please bring your lunch, we will have some snacks available for volunteers)

1 p.m. Departure

Ideally, we will have enough volunteers to co-lead a class of students or to break the classes into smaller groups. I will also be looking for help leading the activities.

Second grade is learning about habitat and life cycle. Deer and butterflies are popular and often the classroom example.
