Future principal, Allison Carroll and teacher Dave Warner, brought a group of MATES students to Sedge. We were also lucky to have the Superintendent Bill Hooy and the Ocean County Vocational Schools’ business manager join us for part of the day on May 31st. We went kayaking through the salt marsh, looked at the different species of birds flying by, and discussed the history of the Sedge islands and the people who live in the three remaining “shacks” on the islands. We also stopped at the “Bahamas” and the students learned how to clam with their feet and they also identified some of the local fauna. Back at the house we had some lunch and then the students did bird identifications in their journals. The students also had the opportunity to go snorkeling in the water, outside the front of the house. In addition, fishing, claming, seining, and helping John Wnek with his turtle plots also took up part of the day. Next, we had dinner and then the students did the Balance of Nature, which they had their own unique way of solving.
The next morning we got up early, fished and took the six-person canoe out. The students also cleaned their rooms very thoroughly and left June 1st to finish the rest of the school day.
