As you know I am back at 5B but I wanted to leave you with some final thoughts and hear some of yours. I had a fantastic weekend hiking after the conference was over. I took this one treacherous dirt road way up into the mountains in search of the Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep. I fad never seen them in the wild and really wanted to. I was rewarded for my persistence by coming upon a group of these wonderful animals coming up on the ridge. It was really thrilling.
The second day I hiked in an area with a lot of cool rock formations. I got attacked by chipmunks when I stopped for a snack!
It is good to be back at Briggs. I met a lot of nice and interesting people from all over the world. I learned a lot and have some good new ideas for science activities!
Here are my final thoughts and I want you to write some of yours.
- You learn a lot from traveling, no matter where you go.
- Keep your eyes and your mind open. A lot of things we all believe may not be correct. Remember, people once thought the world was flat!!
- We share our world with all the plants and animals. They are not there just to pose for pictures or to provide food and other things we need. It's their world too. All the more reason to take care of our beautiful planet.
- Good to be back!
Your friend,
Ms. Bennett
