Experiential Learning around Angra

What a busy and fantastic day! Today was the day when our students got to put many of their new skills into action. They went snorkeling and diving and mapped our path around the bay and many islands in the area. We knew that it was going to be a day full of surprise encounters when we saw a penguin swimming just moments after beginning our journey. Of course, the poor little guy was lost since this is not a typical or favorable area for penguins .. Nevertheless, he seemed pretty content and we were thrilled for the close-up encounter! By the end of the day, the girls had encountered all sorts of aquatic life (including a pregnant male seahorse and a baby seahorse!). The learning continues tomorrow as we visit a local scallop lab...
