Bags of Oyster Field Trip!

    The whole sixth grade went on a field trip. We were shoveling up dead oysters from a big pile , putting them in mesh, then tying a knot at the end of the mesh. Mesh is this kind of net to hold all the oysters and others as well. We were instructed on how to do this. After all of us knew what to do, we started. There was two or three people in each group. Each group would have at least one bucket to collect the oysters, we would also get this tube.(I forgot what it was called)Once you filled the bucket with oysters, fill the tube with them and don't forget to put the mesh on first! We kept doing this and it was so awesome. My partners were Maddison and Quinn. Not only was it fun but we were saving the world. Oysters filter the water, they prevent erosion, they are a food source, and they provide a habitats for other organisms. This year, sixth grade had made more bags then last year, that was such a big accomplishment! This was one of the best field trips so far that I have had. Everyone did great!
