The Corbett Grade School third, fourth and fifth graders continued their journey in historic Astoria, Oregon. The second group of four classrooms arrived today and experienced the activities the first group did yesterday. They climbed the Astoria Column, toured the Columbia River Maritime Museum, went to Cape Disappointment Lighthouse, hiked to Beard’s Hollow, swam at the Astoria Aquatic Center and had a great evening at Camp Rilea with dinner, ice cream, movies and games. The first group continued home, but not without a second day of learning in the field. They explored Fort Clatsop where Lewis and Clark camped for the winter, visited Fort Stevens, walked on the beach to the Peter Iredale, and made one last stop at Indian Beach at Ecola State Park. The second group will continue in their footsteps tomorrow before ending the excursion for a well deserved weekend – for students, chaperones, and school staff! Thank you to all who volunteered their time to make this trip a success. You are truly appreciated and you can be proud of the students and the way they engaged in learning on the road.
