Elizabeth McCarthy commented on the post, What does MARE look like for you?, on the site MARE 12 years, 10 months ago

Last year, my school’s environmental club focused our efforts on educating the school community about plastic in our ocean. We learned about the Pacific garbage patch and created recycling containers out of old cardboard boxes for every classroom in […]

MARE: 12 years, 11 months agoThat sounds like a really successful trip, Joanne! I’ve taken our environmental club to Sandy Hook, it’s always so much fun!

Elizabeth McCarthy posted on the forum topic Bring your class to Rutgers for Ocean Days in the group
MARE: 13 years agoHi Carrie! Our school was able to get funding to bring back the Environmental Club (yay!), so I’ll most likely do a sustainable seafood project with them. I’d also like to do a project with my fourth grade class, since I already mentioned it to them and they are excited about it. The club will […]

MARE: 13 years, 1 month agoCrystal, are you familiar with Alice Hoffman’s “Water Tales”? Aquamarine and Indigo are both fiction/fantasy novels, but they are very much ocean related. I’m thinking of using Indigo as a read aloud this year for my fourth grade class.
