FOURTH-GRADE CAMPERS






From May 14-15, Ms. Nelson and Ms. Singer's fourth-grade classes enjoyed an overnight camping trip at Brooklyn's Floyd Bennett Field, where they compiled scientific data about the health of Dead Horse Bay, learned about the value of composting, roasted marshmallows over a campfire and layers them with chocolate and graham crackers and made delicious 'Smores, and slept outside in tents. The kids and teachers, including moi--Ms. Seitz--had a blast....and it was educational! We're looking forward to doing this again next year!

We did it that one year because a few teachers were into it. Then one teacher left and now another, and most teachers aren't interested in camping. You wouldn't mind sleeping in a tent at night?
