Monday, May 16, 2022 was field trip day for ECE and K-1. Originally we were going to go to Drum Island but after taking into account the melting snow, the children's ages and the distance we instead decided to go to the beach. We didn't have enough adults to both drive snow machines and have one ride on the back standing up mushing style so we had to take them in groups. Here I am riding in the sled on the way back to pick up more kiddos. Of course one ECE child ended up falling off (a common occurrence even amongst the older children) but she was picked up by another teacher pulling the drift wood.
The little one says, "Can I go?"
Oodles of drift wood.
While at the beach children dug in the snow with sand digging supplies, made s'mores and ate roasted hot dogs over the driftwood fire. We had the school bus take the ECE students home so we would only have to take one trip via sled back to the school. What a fun adventure. I got a taste of what their Inupiaq ancestors felt traveling around with caribou.
