Guy Snell continues to amaze us all with every brush stroke

Saturday Fishing Class 23 October 2010

Saturday Fishing Class went extremely well this last weekend.  I met all the students at the classroom at 9:00am where Guy Snell was already there continuing to paint his amazing mural.  Some of the students set up there fishing rods, grabbed the bait and cast net and headed down to the intracoastal.  We were using cut mullet and greenies we caught, along with some frozen shrimp.  The students caught all types of fish including a boxfish, ceros, a spanish makeral, lane snappers, mangrove snappers and grunts.  Some of the students also learned how to use the cast net so we will never run out of bait.  When some of the students started getting hot and needed a break we went back to the classroom and they learned how to replace the eyes on some of the fishing rods.  We are always extremely impressed that they are always wanting to learn new things.

Next Saturday we are going to be painting some more fishing rods.  Some students still need to paint their own fishing rods, and some students want to paint some rods for us.

Saturday Fishing Class 16 October 2010

Last Saturday was amazing and there was a lot happening around our classroom.  I picked the students up a little before 9am and we headed down to the classroom.  When we arrived Guy Snell was already there and had started painting his mural again.  Some of the students grabbed their fishing rods and headed down to start fishing, while a few students hung out with me in the classroom and helped me replace eyes on the fishing rods and paint a few rods too.  The students all caught a ton of fish like the usual snappers, grunts, pinfish, and mullet.  They even hooked a snook with a mullet, but sadly the line popped before they were able to bring the snook in.

Guy Snell continues to amaze us with his incredible mural.  The classroom mural is looking more and more amazing every time we turn around.

The Florida Keys artist Guy Snell started painting his mural on the side of our classroom at Boat Club Park, in Boynton Beach this weekend.  We would like to thank Guy and his father for their time and the amazing start to the mural, we can not wait to see how it come together.

Saturday Fishing Club 9 October 2010

This past Saturday I picked up the students at the Sims Center and met the remaining students at the Boynton Beach Boat Ramp.  The some of the students set up their fishing rods and headed down to the water to start fishing, while a few stayed behind to paint their fishing rods.  The students all caught a ton of fish on Saturday including snappers, grunts, pinfish, and houndfish.

I would like to thank Timothy for being such an amazing help the last few weeks.  When he first started with us he would argue with us and the other students, but now he is always wanting to help me and the new students.  He has come a long way from where he started and is now one of our best students
