The Coast Guard Station

Today our fourth grade class went to the Manistee coast station. It was really fun and exciting. My favorite part was going inside of the 46 foot boat. We heard the alarm and we also went in the engine room. We went up a ladder and I bumped my head. It was really funny, but it really hurt. I think the coast guard station is really cool. ~Larissa

Today we went to the Coast Guard Station. My favorite subject was the boats. Two Coast Guard people told us about the engine. They also told us about how to get out of the boat when it is tipped over. It was so cool!! ~Kyler

On Wednesday, November 14th, 2007. My fourth grade class went to the Manistee Coast Guard Station. The first thing they showed us was Oscar. He is their practice dummy.

Today our fourth grade class went to the  coast guard station. Our class had a great time at the coast guard station. We got to see a video of the coast guard rescue people when they were drowning in the water. Then we got to go on a boat. Jack got to start up the boat. He said you had to push a lot of buttons. We all had a fun day.

Today we went to the Manistee Coast Guard Station. I had a fun time. They took us to the boats we got to go on them. I got to sit in the drivers seat. When we went on another boat I got to honk the horn. We got to see the engine in the boat. Then we went inside the station. The leader was Smith and James. They took us to the locker room. We saw Zane.  He scared everybody and yelled not to touch anything but he was just kidding.  I really liked the Coast Guard Station.

On Wednesday November 14, 2007 I went to the Manistee Coast Guard Station for a field trip. My favorite part was when I got to go on the boat. The first boat I got to go on was 25 feet long. When I got inside it was rocking a lot. The second boat I went on was 47 feet long. The boat was rocking a lot too. I liked sitting where the driver sits. That's why my favorite part was being on the boats.

Today we went to the Coast Guard Station in Manistee. I like it there because of the ships. I like Mr. Lopez because he is the engineer. I like 45 because it had some space. I had a good time.

The Coast Guard Station

Our fourth grade class went to the Manistee Coast Guard Station. A coast guard took us on a rescue boat . One was called 46 because it was 46 feet long and the other was called 25. I loved the 46 because it had lots of cool rooms.  It had a deck fourth compartment, two drivers compartments, engine room, escape pod, brige, and a room for people that get sick. If they are just cold there is a lever if they pulled it the window would explode. We got to hear the coast guard start the boat. When the boat started water came out the sides. It was cool to watch the water come out. They also had a dummy named Oscar. He weighed one hundred and eight pounds. When I get older I want to be in the coast guard. ~Hunter E.

Today Mrs. Bennett's fourth grade class and Mrs. Brown's fourth grade class went to the coast guard station. When we first got there the goast guard men split us up. Then one group went to see the boats and the other group got a tour around the building. One of my class mate's dad  works there. Ater they took us around the building we got to go in the boats. There were two little boats and one very big one. The deck was very wobbly when you tried to get on. It was a blast. ~MacKenzie

There also was a man named James. When we went through the little boat it was very cool. When we went through the big one there was a lot of places. It was really fun. ~Rhianan

Today on our field trip we went to the Manistee Coast Guard Station. The main speaker B m1 Smith gave us some information while we gave him some questions. He showed us the calm room. The calm room is the relaxing room and the work room too. Then we went in the biggest boat. Then they showed us Oscar. Oscar is a dummy. The coast guards are distracted out side. The one of them has to be sneaky and throw Oscar out. Then when someone notices they go rescue him. Then when they get done explaining we went in the little boat and then we left. Our field trip was fun. ~ Somer

Then we went on the boats and the other group went in the building, I was so scared I didn't go on two boats. I went on one boat and I got scared. They had a big, big dog. Then we had to go but it was fun. I think the Coast Guard Station was fun. ~Alexa W.

We went to the Coast Guard Station today for our field trip. We went on all of their cool boats. They gave us a tour of the boats and I asked if I could start the boat so he said I could. There is no key. There is a bunch of buttons though. It was really loud but I did not cave well that was awesome and I had a lot of fun. ~Jack

Today our class went to the Coast Guard Station in Manistee. They showed us three boats. They had two small ones and one big one. They called them 23, 25, and 46. They had one dog named Zane. It was a really fun field trip. ~Randy P.

Our fourth grade class went to the Coast Guard Station for the field trip today. One of the Coast Guards worked at a different Coast Guard Station Before he moved here. They rescue people sometimes but not all of the time. When they have an emergency like some one drowning then the Coast Guards have to get one of the boats out and rescue the people. The computer video had a huge screen but we couldn't wache it because it was not working so then we went to see the boats and then our field trip was over. I like the Coast Guard Station. ~Savannah
