Field Trip to Fish Eye!

On November 29th, we took a field trip to Fish Eye Observatory. I would describe this as a tower that has been built down into the ocean, not too far off shore. I thought this was easier than snorkling:) Most of the students had a parent who joined us as a chaperone, so we had quite a large group! The kids really enjoyed watching the scuba diver feed the fish. I was told he was feeding them dried squid.

I found it rather humorous that we also sell dried squid as a snack in the cafeteria. Maybe I am remembering wrong what he was feeding the fish. Either way, it doesn't sound very appetizing to me:) We spend quite a while just watching the fish and the diver and really had a great time!

After we had seen everything there was to see, we went to a nearby beach for a picnic lunch. The kids enjoyed balancing on the fallen trees and looking for shells and rocks along the shore.

Chamorro Fiesta

In honor of Guam Discovery Day, we had a half day of school and were able to dress up in island wear for the day rather than uniforms on Friday, March 3rd. When I first told my class we would be having a Chamorro Fiesta, one of my girls delightfully squealed, "Chamorro!" She is Chamorro/Filipeno and my little cheer leader:) We had a fun good morning. These are a few of the kids working on a worksheet about seasons (something we don't have here in Guam).



























With such a colorful class, I just had to get everyone together for a class picture! Don't they look great?!























This is 3-year-old Mailani. She came with her sister to pick up a friend from my class. Since I knew her from Extended Care and because she is so cute, I just had to get her picture before she left for the day:)
