On April 28, Jacob took a personal day off from school and he and Abraham joined Ammon on a big end-of-year field trip to Bishop's Beach in Homer. They left early and were there in time for a low tide so that they could explore the beach for ocean treasures. It was a beautiful day and fun times were had by a father and his two boys.
These are some of the cool things they discovered on the beach... a really ugly dead wolf eel (quite a unique find! one of the dads took it with him to have it preserved by a taxidermist), an octopus, a little hermit crab and a huge sea star.
They went into the classrooms for mini-lessons about the ocean and its many wonders. They got to work on a sea otter puppet craft, touch some stuffed birds, explore some bones, look through microscopes and other learning activities. Abraham was thrilled to be part of the first grade group. After the day was over, he said he was totally ready for kindergarten now!
They also got to go to the Sea Life Center for more learning and playing and posing for pictures. They had a fantastic day!
