A Virtual Field Trip

We went lobstering yesterday!

 Ask your child about our trip out on
Casco Bay with Lobsterman Chris and Lobster Bob!

Friday's Virtual Field Trip

Yesterday the class learned all about lobstering by heading out to Casco Bay with lobsterman Chris. Don't worry- your child gave her/himself permission before we went!
Besides learning about lobsters and the equipment needed to catch them, we also learned about how fisherman are trying to keep their business sustainable.
This trip came at the right time, as we are reading the novel The Young Man and the Sea and just read The Fish House Door to review elements of narrative writing. Both books take place in Maine and involve lobster fishing.
Ask your child what they learning, also about Lobster Bob, a feisty little lobster that made our trip a little more fun!
