Morning walk included dolphins coming into the bay and (not filmed) two whales or orcas.

Working with animals pretty much requires you toss all dignity aside.

Take this week’s challenge in Io’s puppy class: put pup into a sit, make pup wait as you dance and make noise, the lead puppy through the instructions.

Ahem.

The world is in chaos but there are still pockets of peace.

Once the main activities were done, the kids worked on a team cheer.

The group near me was struggling, until I jumped in and made a fool out of myself.

Then they relaxed and did great.

Well done to iOceans for putting on such a great event.

The kids were a delight.

So you take three things (ours were ocean themed) and create a piece from it.

The kids could write a letter to the sea, a sea poem, or sea-themed short story.

(Vid is me during the demo. Each group of kids got to choose the three “sea” things I would link together for an environment sea tale.
