Field Trip to Shoal Cove Beach

Dear Families,

The weather looked chilly, but turned out to encourage adherence to the "ankle deep" rule at the beach today. Lots of sun with a brisk breeze (no bugs!) made for a nice day to be outside. Kids always seem to know what to do at the beach, don't they? Explore, collect, be silly, run, eat, get a little wet, wonder. They are naturals at it. The tide was low, there were crabs to capture and touch, we had snack. and played some rousing games of Head On! Lots of family members joined us which meant lots of eyes watching over the kids, most reassuring around the water. Another highlight not to be forgotten, was the bus ride there and back. Mr. Dave was our bus driver and a superstar in the hearts of our class.

Here is the group picture ...

Thanks for all the family support to make this trip happen!

We had a great visit from Mr. Kidwell yesterday. He talked with our class about backpacking and showed us some very cool equipment. He let us touch all the stuff with gentle hands, and even lent us the water filter pump to play with in our fishing center.

The kids all piled into the tent for this quick photo shot.
