We woke up bright and early and ate breakfast on campus. Still no electricity... After eating breakfast, we drove to Mystic Aquarium. We got to see different amphibians, touch a cow nose ray and crabs, and learned how to identify the differences between a seal and a sea lion. Also we saw the Titanic exhibition. The Mystic Aquarium was fascinating and fun!
We left the Mystic aquarium and ate lunch at a diner then drove back to American School for the Deaf. Once we arrived on campus, guess what!? The power came back on and we were thrilled! We visited the cemetery where Thomas Gallaudet,
Laurent Clerc, and Alice Cogswell were buried.
The director of education at ASD, Mrs. Fern Resinger, invited us to a cookout and she cooked for us. We had hamburgers, hotdogs, watermelons, potatoes salad, and cookies. The Director of ASD's husband, Mr. Charlie Reisinger, and social studies teacher, Ms. Kathy Falco, gave us a tour of the ASD campus where we gained new knowledge about ASD and our Deaf culture. - Kevin A.
