WISCASSET — In order to provide learning opportunities for more students, Seeds of Knowledge enrichment classes will now be offered at Great Salt Bay Community School in Damariscotta in addition to Wiscasset.

“The Dirt on Dirt” workshop will be offered on Tuesday, Sept. 25, at Wiscasset Scout Hall on Lincoln Street from 9 a.m. to noon for homeschoolers and in the afternoon at GSB Community School from 3 to 5 p.m. Wiscasset Primary School students will be able to take this class on “early release day,” Wednesday, Sept. 26, from noon to 3 p.m.

A news release describes the workshop as follows:

Students will learn how soil serves a variety of purposes in our world and is vital to our survival. Demonstrations and hands-on investigations will help children explore the properties of soil. An erosion experiment will lead into a discussion of soil loss caused by natural and man-made disasters. Children will learn practical steps people are taking to conserve soil.

Exploring Earth: “Ecosystems and Endangered Species” is a six-week enrichment program that begins the week of Oct. 8. Through an in-depth study of four ecosystems, children will discover how each living thing on Earth has a crucial role on our planet and will learn how living things are dependent on one another for survival.

This six-week program will be provided for homeschoolers on Tuesday mornings from 9 a.m. to noon at Wiscasset Scout Hall, Tuesdays after school at WPS from 3 to 5 p.m., and Thursdays after school at GSB Community School from 3 to 5 p.m.
