The students observed Hudson River wildlife, such as striped bass, blue crabs, American eels, shrimp and turtles. They learned about where the Hudson flows from, and some new vocabulary words like “estuaries” and “brackish.”  Everyone had a chance to put on waders and seine with a partner. One house caught 6 different species and 119 creatures in total! Everyone ate a picnic lunch and played games in the yard. A great "first" trip.
