Highlights From The Tide Pools

We had so much fun on our field trip and learned so much, but the most exciting part was the questions your children had and the stories they had to share. Here are some highlights.

• Kylie said that she has never seen many of the creatures she saw on this trip. She especially liked the sea anemones. She said that she didn't know anything natural could be that bright green and really liked how it curled up and attached shells to its backside as the water receded.
• Jonathan really liked to see the hermit crabs. He didn't know they were able to find a new shell once they grew large enough.
• Shihun had never been to the beach before and thought the entire experience was terrific. He said he will be asking his parents to take him and his little sister before they move back to Korea this summer.
• Trevor had been to the tide pools before, but not these ones. He said he saw many of the same types of creatures as on his previous trips, but saw a couple of new things, too.
• Soraya was hoping to see a dolphin on this trip, but said she was still happy with all of the other creatures she saw.

All of the students had thoughts and questions to share, but this is just a few of the ones shared. I hope you have enjoyed the thoughts of some of the students and took the opportunity to talk more about what they saw, smelled, heard, and thought on this trip.
