Fifth Grade Trip

November 19, 2008

Wednesday Morning


We are patiently awaiting the arrival of Mrs. Graul. The kids are excited that she is coming up. I hope she brings up her warm clothes. :)

The kids went to sleep a little bit earlier and probably earlier tonight. I just love waking them up with Van Halen. LOL.

The night experience was a blast. The kids learned how wintergreen lifesavers make sparks when you chew them in the dark. They also found rocks, not flint, that spark when they are struck together. Right now, they are in class. The big draw was shark dissection. Most of them wanted to do that. Others were doing yoga, making water rockets, learning how to make a shelter in the woods, and play frisbee golf. The chaperones will be playing that later on.

At about 12 we head out on a four hour hike. This will certainly make them tired. Later tonight they will participate in the Underground Railroad activity. It will probably be the best thing they do all week.

Greetings Campers!

Here I've been worried about all of you and I discover that you are having facials and doing yoga!!! HMMM- Maybe I'll go to Nature's Classroom next year! Seriously, I'm really proud of you for having the courage to try new things. I'll bet you've even discovered some new friends during your week away. Looking forward to seeing you on Monday!

SINCERELY,
Mrs. Wladkowski
