We would like to extend a special thank you to all Corridor 5th grade families for having your children well prepared for our oceanography field trip. After a busy first day that included two classes at the Hatfield Center, a visit to the Coast Guard, a hands on activity at the Yaquina Head tide pools, a romp at Agate Beach and dinner at Izzy's, the kids settled down for a mostly quiet night of rest on the gym floor of Newport Intermediate School. They woke up bright and early the next day, ate a fabulous healthy breakfast prepared by parents and headed off to the Newport dock for a morning of crabbing. Once sufficient lengths of rope were added to the crab rings the kids began to pull out numerous varieties and sizes of crabs, even securing a dungeness "keeper" which was offered to a pair of local crabbers. They gratefully accepted. Crabbing was followed by a relaxed visit to the Oregon Coast Aquarium and a safe trip home. The weather was sunny and beautiful both days with temperatures over 70 degrees on Wednesday. All in all, a great success. Thanks again, Corridor 5th grade families.
Tom and Maria
