Grace's kindergarten class has been studying the ocean. They've written a play, drawn a picture of the ocean food web ("it is not a food chain, it is a food WEB"), read lots of ocean stories, and have even built a wooden play boat with the help of a handy parent. So this week, to complement the theme, the class went on a field trip to an estuary at a nearby beach. (A really cool, big wave kind of beach, with no public parking.) One of the dads, an avid fisherman, taught the kids about the food web, and helped them find bloodworms (ick!) to use as bait. Then they got to do some fishing. They didn't catch anything, but a man fishing nearby did, so they at least got to see a fish up close! It was all very interesting and fun. Boy, am I going to miss kindergarten!
