During the 4th & 5th grade Ecology Field Day, SMILE club members travel to URI’s Kingston Campus for a day filled with activities that provide a well-rounded introduction into the world of ecology. Graduate student mentors, URI faculty, and SMILE staff guide the SMILE students and their teachers to 4 different activity stations with topic ranging from wildlife including amphibians, water quality, plant life, and soil science. The students also get to eat in the dining hall with URI students and experience a small taste of being on a college campus. 

The next 4th Grade Ecology Day is on Friday, April 26, 2024.
