Hello Families!

Yet another wonderful day at CIMI has almost passed. It is hard for us to believe that we already head back to the mainland tomorrow. The kids have expressed mixed feelings: sad to leave CIMI, but eager to get home.

Just like the past three days, today was filled with activities. We all completed our last snorkel this morning. Our students gathered data about fish populations so we can complete a project when we get back to Eastshore. Lots of fish were spotted including our friends the saw bass and half moon. The water is clear and crisp!

This afternoon, some of our students went kayaking while others engaged in the labs we mentioned yesterday. Tonight is our bonfire and impromptu talent show. Smores will be served.

We hear the dinner bell!

Looking forward to seeing you tomorrow,
The 6th Grade Teachers

Wavy Wednesday

The students were independent and put their gear on with minimal help from the teachers! Some students needed the atomic wedgie technique to get their pants on properly. When in the water, the current was a little stronger than yesterday, but the students all kicked and swam hard to see many different creatures. There was a large pod of dolphins, around 300, that was swimming right by us. The students could dive down into the water and hear the dolphins using echo location to communicate with each other. It was one of the coolest experiences that we have had at CIMI in a while. The students from the night dive yesterday were able to see many different creatures including: Horn sharks, Thornback Rays, Lobsters, Octopus, and a halibut. The students braved the cold water and got to enjoy a nice experience. They dived, they dance
