Another great day of literacy and outdoor learning at @WFMSthebest #WestFelExplorers #NatGeoEducation
WFMS students took their learning outdoors to the Cat Island National Wildlife Refuge, students engaged in a poetry lesson, tree aging lesson using tree core samples, & planted trees with volunteers from Louisiana Sea Grant and the friends of Cat Island.
