Marine Life

This evening the lesson was on marine life and how they have adapted to survive this ecosystem. They examined crabs, barnacles, lobster claws, baleen, periwinkles, just to name a few. After we walked down to the beach in search of dinoflagellates, marine plankton that light up at night when you dig in the sand. The kids had a great time and got to run around on the beach afterwards. It is now 10:14 and the dorm is silent. Your children have tired themselves out and are sound asleep.

    Dear Jake,
    This was such a special treat for us this morning to be able to see our grandson on the first picture and read about how much he is learning. WHAT A WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE FOR YOU THERE! We like that extension on your finger in one of the pictures.... "The Claw!"

    Also, a very special "Thank you very much Mr. Collyer" for all the information, pictures, videos, and the extra work to keep everyone connected to their little loved ones. Yes, even we grandparents,who are so excited to be able to follow along and be a part, THANK YOU!

    Love You Jake,
    Your Papa and Your Nana
