Our Field Trip

I went on a field trip to Tuskegee National Forest and the Mann Museum and Outdoors. This all occurred on October 29, 2001. We waited in the gym until everyone arrived at school. We were ready to go at 8:30 that morning.

On the bus, there was screaming and loud talking. I sat by my best friend, Amanda. On the way, she went to sleep. It was so funny when we woke her up, because she had a red mark on her face from where she had laid one side of her face on the seat of the bus.

When we to the Tuskegee National Forest, it was a long ride to get to our destination. Mr. Willie Humphrey told us about water ecology. It was very interesting. We were advised to take notes about how we could help our creek along our nature trail. We then saw a beaver dam; it was so amazing.

After about an hour, we were on our way to the Mann Museum and Outdoors. When we got there, Mr. Mann himself talked to us. As we walked through the museum, we saw many fascinating things. My favorite exhibit was the polar bear. After we had finished, we went and ate lunch. Lucky for us, there was a nature trail that we could walk through. We could feed the deer or just enjoy walking.

When we got back to school, we went to our Nature Trail and learned about the trees with markers in front of it. Then we went down farther and talked about how we could help our own creek. I had so much fun that day!
