Oyster Bagging Reflection

Bagging the oysters made me think how important we are to our environment.  If we had not packed 18,000+ pounds of bagged oysters some of our beautiful estuaries, beaches, and islands would have erosion and all the beautiful plants would be washed away, taking all of the beautiful creatures with it.  We would not be able to experience the nice days on the beach of an island where no one else is around.  We would also not be able to go on a hiking trip on the beach to see wonderful creatures.  Sophie and I worked very hard to get our bags filled with oysters.   We worked very hard, even though our backs were hurting from shoveling the oysters in the buckets and our arms were tired from lifting the heavy oyster bags.  We kept pushing through to get to the finish line.  Sophie and I got scrapes and bruises but we finally finished with 152 bags.  Overall, I want to thank Mrs. Cook for taking us on this trip and making me think about our environment.  (Thank you Mrs. Cookie!)
