E.M. Holt fifth graders learned so much during their Sound to Sea trip along the Outer Banks! 🌊 They engaged in various habitat-focused activities, teaching them about the importance of sound and salt marsh water quality, the adaptations of organisms including whales 🐋 and the threats facing endangered sea turtles. Lastly, what better way to learn about the anatomy of a squid than by dissecting one? 🦑 #StudentCenteredFutureFocused
