In this course I am teaching "Math, Science and Social Studies in Early Childhood Education" I had to do two Saturday classes because of an early Spring Break. Saturday classes are long - 6 hours of teaching after a long week of work for all of the students and I. So in an effort to both give them a relevant experience and to break up the Saturday I chose to take them to the
bird sanctuary just south of Richmond on
Westham Island
When I got up this morning is was blowing a gale and pouring rain.
Just perfect for a walk on an exposed marsh on the edge of the ocean....... NOT!
While (st) it was cold - only 4 degrees and very windy, the rain held off for most of the walk. I enjoyed being out in the wind - my friend Audrey called it "bracing" and it was indeed.
It is such a lovely place to wander and we saw so many birds.
Although many of my students have lived here longer than I have, none of them had ever been there and they had a wonderful time and I think many of them will return again,
Maybe on a sunny day.
