Wow The First Day at Nature’s Classroom By Amanda Diaz

When we, the sixth grade students, were at school it took a long time for the luggage to load because there were several big and heavy bags. It took about one hour for the entire luggage to get on the truck. While the truck was loading the students in Ms.Detrick’s room, aka Ms.Moehler, were receiving their table and field group numbers. Some students shared their numbers to see if their friends were at the same table or field group. Then when the truck was finally loaded we got onto the bus. The bus ride felt so long because we all wanted to get to Nature’s Classroom so quickly. On the bus it was loud everyone was looking around to see where we were going and what was around us.

When we were almost at Nature’s Classroom we were looking at the woods around us. We saw wooden houses, boats, streams, trails, trees everywhere, trail markings, ponds, little lakes, a beaver dam, parks and a picnic area, and swamps. As we got closer about 10 miles away the road was hilly, twisty, we went fast and then slow. Lot’s of students ears popped, everyone was so excited when we arrived in the driveway. After the buses arrived in the driveway a N.C staff member came on the bus to introduce him or herself and give us some directions. We helped unload the luggage by getting into lines we called them luggage lines. After we got the entire luggage out we went into the dining hall to eat lunch. For lunch we ate chicken patties, chips, and they had soup and salad bars.

After lunch we found our luggage and went to find and checkout our rooms. After we unpacked we had a floor meeting and we had a practice fire drill. We talked about the rules of N.C and got into our field groups. Next we got to choose from lots of fun and exciting classes like salamander gander and a class on how to build structures. Our night event was a science fair we learned so much. Then we sung songs and we ate cookies after we got ready for bed. Well I have to go to get ready for field group.
