The kayaking field trip was one that I will never forget. It had lots of different species of birds, fish, and more! I saw pelicans, cormorants, oysters, snails, barnacles, pluff mud, and lots of spartina grass.  I was surprised to see lots more animals that I expected. This trip wasn’t only educational but fun too! I got to go kayaking and make a human sail which was an experience I will never forget. I have learned lots of cool and interesting facts about different organisms and how to be responsible. At first, we got partners and kayaks. Next we got paddles and learned how to use them. While we were doing that, the kayaks were brought to the dock and put in the water. We all regrouped back at the dock and learned hot to properly get into the kayak without “Bottom to the water”. Next we all met up in the spartina grass so no one would get left behind. Then we followed the leader around a small island to a large body of water where we all linked arms so the two middle people could stand up, then the rest of the people stand up from the middle out. Then we made our way to review and learn more. Lastly we went back to the center and went back to school. I loved having the time of my life and overall this day was amazing and I hope we can come back or do more activities like this!
