Second graders at John Quincy Adams Primary School took an in-school field trip to the beach at the end of January, courtesy of Cornell University’s Seashore Safari program. This hands-on presentation introduced the students to local marine life, including shellfish, hermit crabs, horseshoe crabs and Long Island’s largest sea snail, the whelk. The second graders had the opportunity to touch live seashore animals that they could find here on Long Island, and learn about how these animals use shells to protect their bodies and search for food.
