May 1, 2017: High and Low Tides

For our ABC Countdown, today was H-High and Low Tides Day.  We took the kids to Near Island to search for tide pool creatures.  We have been studying tidepools over the last few weeks, so they got to hunt for the plants and animals we have been studying.  We found chitons, limpets, sea stars, anemones, hermit crabs, fish, barnacles, and snails.  This day was especially fun because my mom came as a chaperone.  It's been great having her on the island, and my kids love her.
