Lockhart Students Explore Marine Life

Did you know that the rings on a clam shell tell you how old the clam is or that a whelk snail can repair its own shell if it gets damaged? Well the first grade students at Lockhart Elementary learned these interesting facts, as well as many others. The Water Front Center of Oyster Bay visited the first grade classrooms at Lockhart. During the “Touch Tank” program, students learned interesting facts while being introduced to a variety of marine organisms typically found in Oyster Bay. The students really enjoyed holding and touching these animals in this kinesthetic learning experience.
