Read some quotes and look at these additional pictures taken during the 2000 Bring a Child to Work Day.
Mr. Stuart asked "Is it safe to dive into unknown water?" Here were some of the children's answers:
We asked the children what they enjoyed at the "end of the day." Here are some of their responses:
|
Daniel:"I learned about measuring depths."
|
Chris:"I liked the nautical charts and changing the names of places in Washington, DC."
|
Brian: "I liked renaming places on the computer." | James: "Boats have radars to tell them where the rocks are so they don't hit them." | Amanda: "I liked the surprises in the Hydro Boxes." | Joshwyn: "I liked changing the names in Washington (Pentagon to Joshwyn's Pentagon.)" | Alexandra: "I can't believe that I learned so much from a little box." |
| Charles: "I learned about the depths of the water." | Cami: "I liked doing the depths in the Hydro Boxes." | Michelle: "I liked when we were naming the places in Washington." | Brendan: "I have nothing to say except that I had fun poking in the box." | Ebony: "I had fun and I learned a lot of interesting things." | Vicquita: "I learned about the Hydro Boxes to see how deep the water is." |

 Ok, are they printing yet??? |
 What can I name this place? |
 Are you sure this is how we take measurements? |
 Look, I earned a certificate... |
 I won this great hat. |
 I'm touching this sponge--ok?? |
 You measure, I'll record the depths... |
 Can we take two measurements at once? |
Mr. Mills is teaching us a lot about hydrographic surveying. |
 Let me change one more place. |
 Science is fun, really... |
 Mr. Harper--I need a little help. |
 Look at this bag full of NOAA goodies |
 With our sponsor at the end of the day |
 Ditto...and fun had by all. |
