Sounds fun
I know right, we had fun at Nature's classroom too. So I think we are even

I was at Nature's Classroom until Tuesday afternoon. I then came home from Colebrook and started my experience at MMS without the whole gang there. Well I guess you are wondering what we did for the week. In the morning, we got to go down to different UA classes. The at the beginning of Period 3, we got to go down to the cafeteria and get a snack because our lunch was at around 1:00 and we had to have it with the 7th graders. Then, we got to have all kinds of people come in. Mr.Science was the first to come in for the time I was there. With him, we mixed all kinds of cemicals and saw what the outcome was. Then we had Mrs.Rado's brother come in and do water rescue with us, and no we did not go into any freezing cold water. And lastly, we had a lady from a museam come and did all kinds of activities invalving the Underground Railroad with us. We also did an egg drop with Mrs.Rado and did an activity invalving an ice cube. It was a lot of fun at MMS and I know everyone had a wonderful time at Nature's Classroom.

It was the best week I had with my friends. We watched lots of sad and funny movies. Mrs.Rado gave us chocolate that was about 6 paper clips long. We played games and we ate with the 7th graders. It was scary. Somegirls talked to me and my friends when we were playing tag. When we ate with the 7th graders the boys were talking to the girls at our table. They got in big trouble. My friends and I were laughing very hard that my friend fell out of her sit. The good thing is that nobody got hurt.When we go back to Mrs.Rado class room we play fun games and watch funny movies. When the it was monday i was happy i saw my friends.

"Wow!" was the first idea that popped in my head! When we first arrived, I was dazzled. Everything was beautiful! The leaves were brightly colored, and the cabins were awsome! We started off by playing a fun game called "Evolution". This is when you must find someone the same species and defeat them in rock, paper, scissors. Then you either become an egg, loser, or become a higher species, winner. Anyway, when I arrived at my cabin, I knew I was going to enjoy myself. Most of my friends were in it! Nature's Classroom, so far, was a blast!

I was amazed when I had seen the camp. I thought at first it would be smaller, but the camp was huge! When I had gotten to my cabin, I had seen a few friends in my cabin, like Antonio and Ross. I could not wait until tomorrow!

good job
good job everyone!!

The skits were probably the funniest things ever! All of the skits were something different in their own special way. Mine was about what we were going to do for the play. Just to let everyone know, I came up with the idea! Ask someone from Steve's group!!

to watch! Our field group made up a skit about a spitting contest. I thought it was a hilarious performance. Erin R.
Today we played predator prey. I was a frog and then at the end I turned into a snake. Then that night we got to watch the skits. They were really funny. Thursday was my favorite day.

The first day was really fun, but kind of confusing! We were just getting used to what to do and when. I got lost so many times that day! I remember ending up at the farm instead of the mess hall. It was fun to take classes and try to navigate with your friends. When you're in a class or in your field group, you're like feel like you're lost! You always end up some where cool, though. -leigh
Tuesday we got to do two classes. My first class was a pond biology with Papa Bear. During that class I got a really nice, big net, and when I plunged it into the water the mesh part of the net fell off, and I was left with a wooden stick. So I had to try and get it out of the water which was hard considering the rocks. I told Papa Bear, and he said to fix it. So once I did that I went to a different location, and it happened again except it was a higher rock. I told Papa Bear and he said to just leave it. Then I got stuck with a net that's mesh had a hole in it. But on the bright side we caught fish, salamanders, newts, and this freaky, huge, biting, black beetle. Overall Tuesday was a really great day at Nature's Classroom. - Jenna
Tuesday was the first day of field group. My field group leader was Martin, and he gave each and every member of our field group nicknames that he would call us for the rest of the week. There were a variety of names from Midnight to Cherry Blossom. When he asked me what I wanted to be called, I had no idea what I wanted my nickname to be, so another member from my field group said,"You should be Baby Bear." There were chuckles from all around the table, and since I couldn't think of anything better, Baby Bear was what I was called for the rest of the week, and even though it wasn't the best nickname in the world, it brought laughter to our field group whenever someone needed to tell me something.

On Monday morning I was so nervous to go to nature's classroom and spend a week away from home. But, i was in senior cabin and had all my best friends with me, so that made me feel less scared

Those of us up in Colebrook wondered all week what those who stayed home were doing. So hopefully some of those who stayed home will post some info on your activities. If you don't belong to the wiki you can ask Mrs. Menton or Mrs. York to post what you write.

It was fun here but I couldn't wait for my friends to come back because I missed them SO much! The only bad thing about it was that we had to have lunch and recess with the 7th graders. On the first day at lunch, they were staring at us the WHOLE time and it was super awkward, though I will never forget that lunch experience. And, on the first day of recess, none of us knew what to do (except for Marcos) so we just stood there to entire recess. Other than that, it was really fun. And my favorite part might be that we did a science project that we did were we had to mix two different chemicals and see what happened..... Chemical Reactions! That was the best! Oh! And before I forget.... it didn't feel that different brcause when we werein the cclassroom, it just felt like everyone was here! Just in a different classroom!
