  2. At Nature's Classroom I learned that you can take logs, a knot or hitch and triangles you can make a structure and sit on it. I also learned what ORT, organic recycleble trash, is. I learned what a rock shelter is, a rock shelter is like a cave but a bit smaller and is formed when two or more rocks fall on each other. I learned that it was so much fun and I want to go again! We should of longer!

  3. I personally loved Natures Classroom.I learned a few of the owl's hunting techniques,and how the owl uses them.Such as, owls ruffle their feathers so that they can sneak up on their prey without being heard. I also learned what an owl pellet was [I wish i didn't]. And one last thing I also learned about many types of bugs.We should have gone for the entire week!

  5. I really loved natures Classroom. I learned what a water shed is. All it really is is the water cycle, but more detailed and specific. I learned how to play "predator and prey". It's like hide and seek but more intense! I also learned that the water shed is. It is kinda like all the water cycles nooks and crannies. I really wish we could have stayed longer!I love Natures Classroom!

  13. Nature's Classroom was a blast! I had so much fun! I learned what O.R.T was. Organic Recyclable Trash. I learned this during meal time. It was fun to watch the competition of every field group race to finish their O.R.T. I wish we could have spent more time at Nature's Classroom. Maybe we could have had NO O.R.T.!

  16. Natures classroom was okay. I really didn't like it because I got sick, But, one thing ( <---1D song) that learned is patience. Because they simply wouldn't let us eat food unless we answered a near impossible question. That is all i have to say.

  24. I thought Natures Classroom was great! I learned what it would be to be a real slave and go through forests and rivers. One of the classes I took was Egg Drop,you had to make a contraption to protect the egg that you put in it,then you drop the egg with the contraption and drop it from a high place and see if the egg wouldn't crack. I also learned that the Wolves are awesome!

    At Nature's Classroom, I took the class called Hoot n Hurl. Some other people who took this class with me were Hannah, Tad, Zev, Sydney, Alex, Bella, and Annabel. I learned about some of the owl's super stealthy hunting technics,such as it's ruffled wings, extra talon, and superb night vision. I also got to disect owl pellets, and my group found two animal skulls! All in all, Nature's Classroom was a great experience and I would love to go again.

  30. At Natures Classroom I learned in my candle making class, (witch you were in Ms. Holladay), that the children in the olden days made the candles. The candles were used for light, but not smell. They used cow fat to make the candles. And as you can imagine it didn't smell pleasant. Later on the start to use different animal fat that smell a little better and that burned longer. Natures Classroom was a fun experience, I wished we stayed longer!

  31. Nature's Classroom was a happy and memorable experience for me. I learned all about owls in the hoot and hurl class with my friends from different groups. I explored the eating habits of owls by dissecting an actual owl pellet. I found many rodent bones including a tiny skull.

  32. Nature's Classroom was not very fun for me. Nothing was really interesting, and we couldn't even be ORT-less for one meal. But, I did enjoy one of my classes and I even learned a bit. In Candles, I learned that the kids made the candles and that they had to make enough candles for the entire year. That wound up to be 730 candles per year!!! I can now understand why all the sixth-graders complained about Nature's Classroom.

  33. I a great time at Natures Classroom! I learned about trees, the underground railroad, the wild. I also had one of the best cabins ever! I love the ORT-less thing we got so close to getting it.But overall I had the best time.

  34. Natures Classroom was probably my favorite thing we did all year in school... I got to be with my friends, and didn't have any problems with them!(Not that I would...) I already knew about teamwork, but at Natures Classroom, you strengthened your ability of teamwork. You got to see some things you don't see here in Tennessee. The Underground Railroad taught me that whenever I'm out in nature, I need to prepare for any kind of weather, and have a flashlight. I LOVED Natures Classroom!!!!!!!

  35. While at Natures Classroom I learned how to make soap. And in the days where women did most of the work, they made soap from cow fat and other gross ingredients. So it did not smell very pleasant. But it was hard work back then and now we use herb, and other god smelling ingredients. I had a great time there and I wish we could go back.

  36. At Natures Classroom I leaarned how what slaves did in the Underground Railroad. If there was a group of people you would have a leader who told a story why you were out at night while the rest of the group hid. I had a great time at Natures Classroom.

  43. I LOVED Natures Classroom so much! I was is the Smartpaper Class. What I really learned was that you can make paper, out of paper! What we did was we got this huge bucket of paper, tore them all up in little peices. Then we blended them together, we mixed it with water. We then put it in this little screen and got all the water out of it. Then we made paper!

    I enjoyed Nature's Classroom very much. I learned something new in the class I Fly Away. In that class I learned about the four major forces effecting airplanes. They are lift, drag, gravity and thrust. We used what we learned by building and testing... Paper airplanes!!!! That is what I learned at Nature's Classroom.

  45. I loved Natures Classroom more than anything in the whole world!! My favorite activity was bubbles. We learned lots about bubbles!! Like the gravity does not effect the way the bubbles work so the gravity doesn't pull the bubbles down.
    My favorite field group activity was going on hikes and going through the split rock and playing predator VS. prey!! Also our field group was the first ever group to go on a trail that they just made a few weeks ago and they have not made a name for it wet.

  47. My favorite activity was the Underground Railroad. Which for me involved chaperon's, Trinity, Sydney, Juliana, Me of course, Sager, Tucker, Carter K, Hayes, and Jackson Neese. And it's not my favorite just because I was map guy! I learned that slaves had to be VERY convincing and they had to repeat the same story again and NEVER SAY WE when talking to a bounty hunter which I found out you talk to a lot more than I thought. IT was a little too Educational but still was cool. NATURES CLASSROOM ROCKS FOOD AND FUN WISE! ROOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLL TIDEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!

  48. I loved and learned a lot in natures classroom, but I learned that triangles are stronger than boxes. Water flows to one spot and not a thousand or more places around the world it might go to a pool of water or the ocean. I learned that some lichen is edible but some is not like crumbled ruffles. I was in the cabin arrowhead and the muskrats there was so many friends I can't name them all.
