| Windsor 6 works to restore the Presumpscot River in the expedition Riverworks April 10
With a kick-off date of April Fool's Day and a culmination date of Friday the 13th of June, how can the Riverworks expedition lose? We will be following in the footsteps of former Riverworks expeditioners, taking on the role of scientists as we collect and test water samples along the Presumpscot River. We willtake the time to walk the riverbanks and appreciate what the Presumpscot has to offer, creating artwork and making scientific observations. We will also canoe the river to collect our water samples; the data we obtain will be used by community groups to improve the quality of life of the river and those who inhabit its ecosystem. As well as looking back at the history of the river, students will also explore current issues. We are fortunate to have many community partners who will share their knowledge along the way, allowing students to connect with many who have dedicated themselves to improving a river that American Rivers chose as one of America's Most Endangered Rivers (2000).
During the course of expeditions, each house has a web crew that documents the learning along the way. See the work of the Windsor 6 team for the expedition Windsor 6 All Stars. Meet the Windsor 6 All Stars

Student Views of the Expedition Windsor 6 All Stars on the web in multimedia 
The Windsor 7 Fall Expedition is entitled Trading Places: A Study of Colonial Trades. Students are researching colonial occupations. We've traveled to Strawberry Banke, a colonial village in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. We conducted research in Boston along the Freedom Trail. Colonial Craft day was a huge success as we crafted glass beads, candles, hornbooks, pomandores, attended a tea party, baked cookies and learned about colonial herbs and tools. 
the body during colonial times. Art students are portraying themselves as they would appear as a colonial tradesman. Language Arts classes are reading the novel, Running Out Of Time by Margaret Peterson Haddix. Students are conducting their research in Social Studies, focusing on the tools, materials and history of trades.
