Save the Bay
Included in our Lower School Division, Kindergarten through Grade 5
Lincoln’s Save the Bay program is an exciting part of our Lower School program (K–Grade 5). Save the Bay's mission is to protect and improve Narragansett Bay, a mission that’s woven into our curriculum through hands-on field experiences that give students the chance to explore the world outside of Lincoln’s walls.
With Save the Bay educators and our classroom teachers, students splash amongst the tidal streams of Colt State Park, pet squid while on a boat in the middle of Narragansett Bay, and stomp through the salt marshes of Prudence Island at high tide. This is a reminder of the power of taking learning beyond the classroom. By not restricting learning to just those places we call “school,” we understand that learning is everywhere when we engage with the world around us. With each grade level from Kindergarten to Grade 5 having four field experiences every year, our Lower School students begin to see the Bay as an extension of the school they love. Our Save the Bay trips have been planned to support and enhance our curriculum, providing a hands-on, real-world application of what they have been (or will be) learning in science lessons.
Science is All Around Us
Save the Bay teaches us that science is messy!
We learn that it is multi-faceted, not one-size-fits all—some of us enjoy the chemistry of water testing, while others are fascinated by the biology of crab adaptations.
But most importantly, we learn with every trip and exploration that science is real and all around us. And of course, there really is no better way than seeing science in action out on our beautiful Narragansett Bay!
