Dear Toe Participants,
We at Bayside Elementary have decided to visit the Chesapeake Bay for our project. Most of
the people who founded Kent Island worked on the Bay harvesting its seafood in order to
earn a living. We will be visiting a workboat that is used to catch oysters.
Hopefully we will have many sights and sounds to describe. Regina, hopefully this will be
okay?
Hi everyone,
Sorry to be so late with this, but we just went on our field trip last eek and we've had
parent/teacher conferences.
We went to visit a workboat on the bay.
