Reports from the Field: On Assignment in Georgetown

Lightening Storm, by Emily

Hi, how are you? We saw a “light show” last night! It was amasing. We were lucky because 20miles north were 50 mile hour winds. Before the storm, some people thout they weren’t anchored well. So they moved and cot (caught) and dragged another boat. Do not worry. They got uncot!

Hike of the Hills, by Jake

Yesterday we went on a hike to a monument. We met 3 people at the top with a dog named Schooner. The men were very nice. They were from St. Augustine Florida. Bill invited us to fish with him when we pass St. Augustine on our way back. Dad says if my brother and me catch at 4 foot MAHI before our trip is over that we can get a dog. Bill says he will try to help us. It was a good hike and it led to a beach with sand dunes which we sled-ed down.

Here is a late edition from Drew regarding school at Black Point Settlement...

School, by Drew

The first time we went to school in Black Point was for sports day. It was very fun but sort of disorganized. First we did the long jump, and the course was very rocky. Second was the 60 meter sprint. That course was rocky and bumpy too, but the kids were very fast.

The next week we went to school in the classroom. The room had one fan, but it was still hot and sticky. It had 4 computers in the back and a mixed selection of books. I did not really do any thing but read and observe the class. They were talking about social studies and also working on perswasive writing.

The principal was very nice and kind. We only stayed till snack time, but it was very different.
