Welcome Back from Nature's Classroom!



Hello, Everyone!

As reported in the last posting, some fifth graders traveled with their teachers to Andover in Connecticut for a life-time experience in their Natures' Classroom trip. The students were so excited about the trip that almost everyone wanted to share something. I have therefore left it open for these students to log on to this blogsite and write about their post-Natures' Classroom experience with the reading public. However, there are five students who were selected by their teachers to talk about what they feel about the trip. These students have their pictures posted below, and very soon each of them will answer a series of questions about what they learned. Please, welcome them as they get ready in front of the smart board to share their experiences. And please, share in their excitement by posting your comments to their responses.

4. I solved the Probelem by getting more sources of information.

5. Some topics in particular that interested me were the points of inerests because there were many places i wanted to visit.

6. a topic that wasn't as interesting was the natural resources.

7. that topic was not very interesting because i couldn't really find alot of information on them and all i was looking at was the resources that they used.

8. some learning experiences that i learned were what the holidays were and saw that they were almost the same as ours.

9. it took me from the begining of the country report to the end of the country report.
