Photo Walk Day 1: Period 5 heads to the beach

Off to the beach! Today was our first trip down to the beach to snap the photos that we'll be using for our Sea Shore Guide. Everyone met at room 404 right after lunch and after a couple of the girls made bathroom runs, we were off!



Pamela got to do the honors and hit the gate opener button. One click and we were FREE!



Mr. Ashley timed the walk down to the pier. It took us just over ten minutes to walk from the classroom to the pier. Mr. Ashley had rules for walking. They were: 1. Nobody walks behind him on the way to the beach- that way there's no stragglers. 2. Everybody walks on the same side of the street. And, finally: 3. We all walk on the sidewalk. Can anybody say, "Control Freak"?

In addition, we had to be on our best behavior. No foul language, no horseplay- all the school rules apply even at the beach since this was an "official" field trip. He did cave a little and let us listen to our ipods but we could only put them on once we were off campus.



We had an hour to start working on our photo "hit list". A couple groups went out onto the pier to get some snap shots of fish from the fishermen out there. Here's a group under the pier checking out the creatures living on the pilings. Obviously everybody's snapping photos.



Other groups did work up at the jetty. The tide was low at 1:56 pm so it was a perfect time to walk out and grab some photos. Johnny Golden even saw a rat! I hope he got a photo of it.
