What a night experience!

Good morning from a slightly wet Nature's Classroom!  It did rain yesterday afternoon a little bit, but it was never heavy downpours.  We were able to experience several classess yesterday such as deer hunting, civilizations, wild tea, rocket launch, and some dissection, to name a few.  Last night we had our "Night Experience" where we learned all about rhodopsin which is the protein that allows our eyes to adjust and see things in the dark.  We did all sorts of cool science experiments in the dark with our field group leaders!  Just as we were heading back for our nightly quiet sing, it started to rain heavy, but we were safe and sound indoors!  It was another great night of sleep, in fact, it's time for me to go wake up all the kids to get ready for breakfast!!  I will definitely upload more this afternoon, promise! Sorry, I didn't find time to do more yesterday.       -Mrs. Hudak
