one of the big field trips in 5th grade is the age of sail which is an overnight on a ship from the early 1900's. it is a re-creation of life of a sailor back then. the kids are the crew and they do all of the work following the rules of the strict captain. mahala was in the rope tying group. they ate food cooked by the galley group. they slept on hard wood floors and received letters from "back home" (us). they woke up early to do chores and finally hoisted their teacher up in the air with ropes (he was not following the rules!)
