3rd Grade Program
EUSD and The Escondido Creek Conservancy are pleased to provide every 3rd grade student with an outdoor education experience aligned to NGSS and California's Environmental Principles and Concepts. Students will participate in teacher-led pre-lessons and a Conservancy-led classroom lesson to prepare their eyes and minds for their in-person fieldwork to Elfin Forest. After the fieldwork, students and teachers will participate in follow-up lessons and a final conservation project.
NEW! Teachers can now watch this video to overview the field trip program and learn how to prepare.
