Good Morning!
We all survived, very successfully I might add, our first night at Nature's Classroom! We had a very fun-filled day of field groups and classes, followed by an evening of Science Fair activities. By the time we got back to our dorms, we were all so worn out from the day, that we fell asleep pretty immediately. We didn't hear any coyotes or bears, so we all got a very good night of sleep! This morning we enjoyed some amazing waffles and now we're out for a 2 hour Field Group Hike! Here are some more pictures from yesterday, and a few from this morning! Fair Warning: They keep us pretty busy from sunup to sundown, so I may not post as frequently as planned. If you don't see anything new, it just means we're too busy learning and having fun! -Ms. Allen
