Hello! Here is quick synopsis of our day so far as I dash off to go crabbing!
We arrived at Nature’s Classroom around 11:30 am following an exciting bus ride and scenic stop at the Charlton Rest Area. Students helped to unload the buses, and then visited their cabins for the week. The boys are staying in Aspen, while the girls own The Condo. Lunch was the crowd pleasing duo of chicken tenders and french fries. The students take turns being waiters here, and so the first group got to work. At my table, we gave Max A. a huge tip for all the schlepping of french fries he needed to do for us! And yes, a few students did partake in salad as well. We are sharing the facility with the North Brookfield School this week, and while the BCD students will have their own field groups, we are combining for a large array of elective classes. Currently the students are signing up for the 4 pm sessions: yoga, eyeball dissection (not sure whose), crabbing, aeronautics, bird dissection, and water ecology. Tonight we will have a round robin of group challenges (which in NC lingo is called a quest.) Stay tuned for more adventures tomorrow and more pictures, I promise!

Thank you for sharing Jilly. There were a few tears in the court yard but what an amazing adventure. 5th Grade! How lucky these kids are.
