What's Happenin'?

We were very fortunate to be able to take another trip to Kensington; this time to learn about plant life!  Not only were we lucky for the trip, but we were also lucky to keep the rain away long enough to enjoy the entire day!  It was an incredible day, and here's what the students had to say.  Also, be sure to check out the highlight reel.

Okay so first off I think the field trip was a good way to keep the week going! By just making this week more jam packed, exciting and just full of things to do and also the field trip helped by doing something exciting and fun like a celebration for finishing math M-STEP (even though we did it last year and in third grade) But, still a good way to keep the week fun! Another thing is that the field trip to kensington also was a good way to get out in nature and some of the things I heard were bird calls and when we were by the pond/lake I heard waves or whatever you would like to call them also thought the weather was weird and also the weather kept changing its mind like one second it's raining and THE NEXT IT IS PERFECTLY FINE like whatttt?!?!?!

                   So anyways that happened and I can't just give all the attention to when we were outside can I?? NO is the correct answer actually. When we were inside when we made the big fifth grade tree that was pretty cool I have to say except for the part where we all made weird noises that was uhhh different (I didn't know how to put it) Another thing is that I had to lay on the ground and make a weird weird WEIRD sound like I was drinking up ALL the water in the whole world!! Anyways enough about me let's talk about plants and how they affect our lives and if we did not have plants we would literally not have a good life no clothes, not any salads or veggies that keep us healthy or OXYGEN!! So thank the plants :) On to  lunch, that was probably my favorite part of the whole field trip because why not lunch is the best. Especially the part where the cranes attacked the teachers and everybody else and the part where Stella literally got up out of her seat and ran because the crane was next to her!! Okay well that was my overall recap of the field trip!

       it was fun but my favorite part was the hike and also because when we were inside it was a bit boring but kinda fun. and then also when we were on the hike we say crans fish big fish and turtles. and when we were able to do whatever some of us got this one rock was giving it the best time of its life. and what we did was we we through it into the the little tiny river by the little bridge a few times like we trough it in the got it back but the 3rd time we lost it in the water.

        and when we were inside fin was a model of a flower and he had to make shhhhhlushhhh sound and he tried and it was funny.and also we got to pet a turtle this time but i mean last time we got to pet a snake now that was pretty cool. and then when we were outside we were eating lunch me,cash, hunter, landdon. and colby and then these to crains attacked us. and when they did 5 min later this other one came sprinting towards hunter and colby and it was funny.

well it was very peaceful and there were animals all over the place we got to see finn the flower. And the wheather was a little wet and not dry and me and cash got attacked by two cranes. And what surprised me is that this one bird just let people get near it. But when you get very close it ran away or flew away really fast.

                   The most instresting part of the trip is when we threw a rock into this little creek under the small bridge and we tried to get it.The experience made me happy and excited to skip most of the school day and yeah happy. What i observed was two cranes flying at me while I was trying to eat my lunch. Why the thing surprised me was normally birds are scared of people but this time they were acting like they didn't care.And then they attacked colby and hunter after unbelivable.

Someof the things i saw on the field stip were stuff like animals for exaple. Crains, and birds like woodpeckers pigions a blue bird and a lot more. I also saw a big frog and he was ig and cool. I also ended up seeing a few turtles and they where really cool they look like baby's and a adulet. I also saw a bunch of fish like carp bluegil and i think that was it but the carps where super big. Also i saw some swans they were cool and goose with a few mallard ducks. All of those animals i saw were really cool and i liked them.

       When we were inside it was pretty fun i got to see a bunch of cool enviroment stuff and we got to make a tree. And the sounds the the crains made were really cool i liked it it was fun. And the most interresting thing i saw was some crains and they flew tight past someones head it was really cool it was two of them.And that was also really surprising.

So I think it was a really fun experience. An interesting fact that I learned is that herrin birds, during mating season (spring), the males bring a stick to the nest where the females sit preparing for their future nest, and the female decides if she likes the stick or not. If the female herrin doesn't like the stick, she dramatically tosses it off, and then the poor male has to find a new stick, and a new female to impress. But if the female does like it, she accepts it and then they mate and have babies together. I think that is so interesting. 

           So you know how we learned about toe biters? I think that It would kind of be cool to have it bite my toes to see how bad it would really hurt. Also, I wish that Michigan was still Michigan,but Florida weather so that we could grow coconuts, and even better, avocado trees! Also shout out to the one and only "Finn Flower"! That was pretty fun also on the tree model that the class made together, I was one of the roots. What were you? Ok bye.

so i saw a lot of things. and what i saw that was the most cool is the fish and i did not see that much because the whole time i was looking at the fish i mean that was the coolest thing that i have seen so ya. also i think that it was alright because i mean there were not that much things to do there. also i think that one of the best things I  saw was this rock i looked so cool and ya. plus i threw the rock in the creek so ya.

             also i think that the things that were the best were the fish or the big birds they flew right next to me and lanndon and cash and penny. furthermore the bus ride was pretty cool and got a bit sleepy you know. also i think that the thing that i rember is the big big frog i mean that thing was huge like huge. also i think that the inside thing was pretty lame i mean being inside is pretty much the worst thing that can happen to me so i just didt like it. but the place was great and that is less school.

 I observed Finn Flower and I watched the process on how plants grow die, and I learned the parts of a Flower. And I also learned about seeds too, I got to see many different kinds of seeds and see what they grow into. I also learned that you can see lots of birds like Cranes, the red winged birds, and pigeons. There was the cool eagle in the cage that I realized was half blind and got hit by a car. Which is very unfortunate.

       But on the trail with Joel I think is what his name was, but on the trail I saw a couple of turtles in the water. I also saw to big fishes that I am sure were Carp. Speaking of Carp the pond with like a hundred of them was really cool to look at. I also saw a lot of bubbles in the water which I would want to see what it was.
