ACS 3rd graders on Thursday, May 11 toured the Tuckerton Seaport, a working maritime village and museum, to learn about what it would have been like to live along the coast of New Jersey 100 years ago. The students watched an artisan carving a duck out of cedar and a boat builder building sneak boxes out of cedar and white pine. They also learned about clamming and its important role to the area’s economy — all part of their history unit on life in New Jersey. Pictured above is Mrs. Fosbenner’s class at the Tucker’s Island Lighthouse, where they climbed to the top and looked down at the area’s extensive system of estuaries.
