5th grade trip update from teacher Steve:
Yes, we are still alive and moving. I will say that I see a change in the tide. The first morning there was a ratio of 2-25 adults to students up at 6am. Today it was 7am and ratio flipped to 9-2 adults to students. We may go on another 3 mile hike just to really show them who is boss! The students are tired, but loving the trip. I think we must be around 9/10 on the happy star chart. Today is geocaching. I did find pictures from the other groups. Sending a few. We will share all pictures on the return. 💕
Our Kindergarten students attended UCSB REEF 🪸 program today and enjoyed the touch tanks!

This lesson combines awareness of modern-day plastic pollution with the historical perspective of how life once involved no plastics at all. It ends with a hopeful alternative to a throw-away plastic used every day in schools—single-use plastic utensils used for school lunches.
