Riley's Farm - Revolutionary War
2026-05-06 10:00 - 13:30
The struggle for independence is more than charts, trends, and abstract academic theories.
It is the story of what Patrick Henry labeled “wise men, engaged in a great and arduous struggle for liberty!”
Re-live that great struggle with us and bring the American Revolution alive!
As you arrive, you’ll be placed in “townships.” You’ll stay with your township throughout the day and visit various village posts. After everyone has arrived and is on the main green, the regulars will check you for contraband. If smugglers are found, they will be arrested in a brief recreation of the “Gaspee Affair.” The excitement begins when the American minutemen attempt to come to the rescue.
After the opening skirmish, you’ll be off to participate in several hands-on stations. Textbooks come alive as students participate in these fun and challenging activities.
After you’re done with your village posts, you’ll have a brief lunch. You’ll be given a soldier’s ration of lemonade, cornbread, cheese, an apple, and dried beef.
If that’s not enough, visit the Bakery. You can also feel free to bring your own food to supplement your ration.
After lunch, students get to participate in a mock battle, a recreation of the 1775 Battle of St. George’s Tavern. Colonial Townships will use their martial drilling training to defend the tavern behind a dry stone wall, while the Redcoat Townships will attempt to march on the tavern.
We encourage all our 5th-grade and 8th-grade students who have studied the Revolutionary War this year to attend!
Date:

Ocean Institute - Marine Mammal Lab (K-4)
2026-05-20 09:30 - 10:30
In this program, the book The Snail and the Whale by Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler is used to explore fact and fiction about whales. Students use microscopes to examine plankton and krill as they learn about the diets of marine mammals, sort mammal and non-mammal artifacts, listen to whale sounds, and observe fascinating whale “hitchhikers.” Students learn the characteristics of mammals. They observe, identify, and then sort a variety of animal artifacts and replicas into mammal and non-mammal categories. The mammals are then sorted further into land (terrestrial) and marine mammal categories. Students learn about life cycles, discovering that some plankton are larval forms of animals they know, such as sea stars, lobsters, and snails. Students also learn about whales’ communication and echolocation abilities, using tuning forks and hydrophones to experiment with sound waves and sound production, and viewing video and sound clips of whales.
