#ocean classroom

[sunshinemilia]

So next week in my class our lesson plan is about pirates and the ocean, the teachers next door and my partner and I decided to have a friendly competition about who can decorate our rooms the best and most creatively :) we aren’t done with the room yet but I finished the bathroom during nap time and I’m really proud of myself ;-; my partner called the other girls in to show them and brag about how good I did and I’m so happy I’m surrounded by good people

"These aren't the lines most rappers are rapping with/ These are the lines I'm hauling on, creating callouses/ Same thing, every day when I pull back my curtain/ It's a sailors life, minus the girls, pay and cursing..."

Duryea Decker-Griffith, a student aboard Virginia for the spring semester of Ocean Classroom, a hands on sailing and education adventure.

In the spring of 1999, I sailed with OCF aboard Spirit of Massachusetts and it's a trip to read read first impressions of life aboard from this year's batch of kids.

Marshlands (a short poem for my student shiplog)

Meet me in the marshlands

and I'll sing you a song

one that you sang to me

when I called you my own

and I'll call you mine

and never let go

I'll sing that song

that only we know
