On the Adventuress all of the 7th graders not only learned about how to sail, but actually had the opportunity to be Captain of the Ship!
While the learning to sail was fun, being on a ship isn't just about what happens above water, it's also important to know what's going on underneath! Students got their hands wet, without having to jump all the way in, and played in a touch tank and learned about the water ecology.
And finally one crucial piece was to learn how to navigate! This is an important concept not only for guiding a ship but also for guiding students through 7th grade.
The sailing adventure was a great way to start the year, and we look forward to finishing the year on a sail boat as well, on the Salish Sailing Trip!
