Today was our field trip to Waikalua I’a Fishpond.  When we first arrived, we were greeted with a 10 minute squall. The children had to all crowd into a large metal storage container to get away from the rain.  Then, the children worked together to create a model of an ahupua’a on the beach using natural materials found around them like plants, rock, coconuts, and sticks.  Then, they searched through invasive limu for crabs, shrimp, and fish.  It was a hands-on field trip.
