Looking Inside an Oyster

As part of our Chesapeake Bay research project we studied oysters, and today the boys got the chance to open some special oysters that had pearls inside. This year we had three black pearls (which is rare...last year we only had one), a few were pink, and the rest were white. In composition class we are writing this week about the history of pearls and their cultivation. The boys had a great time and have a new treasure.
