One of the great things about being by the shore was that we got to go find our own organisms. These organisms included: starfish, crabs, sea anemone, eels, and more!
Students were prepared head to toe.

**Our Internet connection was disrupted earlier, so I'll help Kalei and Leslie fill in some info about the day here.
We had the most perfect weather today, sunny but not too hot. When we arrived on the shore, the tide was really low (maybe the lowest I've ever seen it). That was nice because we were able to walk way out and see areas of the tidal zones I'd never seen before. My favorite moments of the day came as I heard squeals from different groups- this is always a good sign at the tide pool as it signals a new discovery, like an eel slipping through their fingers, or a crab scurrying from rock to rock. We didn't see as many bigger starfish or sunstars as we've seen in previous years, but we did find some new interesting creatures and students, all students, really went out of their way to totally examine each area of the tidal zones with their group. We enjoyed lunch off the shore, and listened to the water crash against the rocks as the tide came back in.
I've really never been to a more perfect spot; I really think I could sit and listen to the scene out across the water forever. Most students commented on feeling the same way, and I enjoyed sharing this really special moment and place with them.
