The last day of Nature's Classroom

Our last day of Nature's Classroom was, of course, another adventure!  After breakfast, we had to head back to our dorms to clean up, then fill out an evaluation of the week, followed by one last field group hike (in the rain).  Even though we got picked up an hour late, we still had a great time having a riff-off waiting for it to arrive!  We were very sad to leave all of our new friends behind, but excited to come home to tell all of you our new stories!  Enjoy these last pictures from today! -Ms. Allen

There was an hour delay of our bus so we will now be home around 1:45! Sorry for any inconvenience !! I have some pictures from our last day, but can't post them until I'm home with Internet access! So check back tonight!  See you very soon!!! -Ms.Allen

Thursday Night is Alright!

I'm sorry to report that every single child said, "Awwwwww nooooooo" when we told them we were leaving tomorrow!  It's really been the most incredible week of new adventures and amazing learning.  Today we played a massive game of hide-and-seek called "Prey vs. Predator".  After lunch, we had one last hike with our field groups, followed by our last class of Nature's Classroom.  This evening we dined on ribs and mac n' cheese and enjoyed some hilarious skits by our classmates and the NC teachers in "Thursday Night Live".  The students are busy packing to come home to you.  Fair warning...they have a LOT of dirty, smelly laundry! -Ms. Allen
