This week in science we finished  our grow creature project.. Every day we measured and weighed it. Once it was done growing it got huge and then started to shrink. We had an amazing time.
         On Thursday we went on on a Field Trip to Camp Palmyra. We hiked 2-3 miles and learned about different types of trees and why the land was formed the way it was by glaciers. Later we had lunch. Finally Mr. Bob took us down a trail to learn about the whispering aspen tree.  Ask your child about it.  Why do the leaves make the sound that they do when the wind blows.  He also taught us about the prickly ash.  We learned that it is part of the citrus family.  When we rubbed a leaf between our fingers, we could smell the scent of citrus.  Beware- don't eat the leaves because they will leave your mouth numb.  The Native Americans used this leaf to numb a toothache! Then we had to go back to school and ride the bus. Camp was awesome.
