LCEF partners with The Nature Conservancy and the Sakonnet Preservation Association to promote and provide educational programs for WMS students at Dundery Brook Greenway Trail
Wilbur McMahon School teachers and students will soon have access to an outdoor classroom setting, nature trails and hands-on environmental/science programs right next to the school grounds. The LCEF has made a donation to The Nature Conservancy and has partnered with The Conservancy and the Sakonnet Preservation Association to promote and provide educational programs for Little Compton students and teachers at the Dundery Brook Greenway Trail. This environmental programming will not only bring science to life for Little Compton children, but will also complement Rhode Island’s new Environmental Literacy Plan that integrates critical environmental and science learning into the school curriculum

Students in grades six, seven and eight will once again work together as part of the WMS Lego Robotics Team that will compete in the 10th Annual FIRST Lego League Challenge at Roger Williams University in January 2011.  This year’s challenge directly correlates to the science curriculum of students as they explore the Magnets and Motors Kits as well as Energy, Machines and Motions Kit

The Little Compton Education Foundation has received a Wish List request for a teacher pack of 10 Texas Instruments TI-84 Plus Calculators priced at $1,080. Middle School students will need these graphing calculators in September, when they begin studying a new math curriculum called “Impact Math”
