Students from Seguin House enjoyed some of the best weather imaginable during these last days of September. The nights were cool, and the days had brilliant sunshine, moderate temperatures and fresh breezes. My group even had the courage to go for a swim at the south end of Beale Island! On our first night we saw meteorites, satellites and constellations. I used a laser pointer to show how to find the North Star using the edge of the Big Dipper's cup. Kids had the chance to work together on the long paddle to and from Castle Island, and I was impressed with their stamina and their natural ability.
It felt wonderful to be back out on the water with 8th graders after a three-year pause for the pandemic. Finding connection to each other and to the place where we live is powerful.
