K-2 Learning Results

This section has been updated to include the new Maine Learning Results adopted by the state legislature in 2019 and 2020. The standards listed below may be addressed using the content provided in this chapter, depending on the activities implemented by the teacher. Some suggested activities are provided online, but many more are possible. The books, video, primary sources, and websites listed under resources provide additional suggestions. Visit the Penobscot Marine Museum Field Trips and Remote Field Trips page for more information on virtual or in-person staff-led programs.

Our K-2 version of our Working the Bay Program gives an overview of the important resources- fish, wood, stone, and trades- fishing, lumbering, and quarrying, of 19th century Maine.  The program has hands-on activities, as well as the opportunity to handle real objects such as limestone, and 19th century tools.  The Working the Bay program provides tangible and understandable examples of economics and how people gather scarce resources to meet their own needs and wants.
