Bennett Center

So the last week of September we went to the Bennett Center.  When we got there we were assigned rooms.  I was surprised to see who was in my room.  The reason I liked the Bennett Center because we got to sleep over.  The first day at the Bennett Center we went and looked at trees around the Bennett Center. After that we went and had lunch. For lunch we had spaghetti. After that we went outside to the forest.  My group found a gigantic earthworm. That afternoon we had snack. After that we went outside. After awhile we came inside for supper. I don’t know about you but I was exhausted after that day. For supper we had chicken, veggies and potatoes with gravy. After that we played some games. Then we went to the park. I rolled down the hill. Bad choice that was, I felt as if i was going to puke.  when we came back, we sat around the firepit and we roasted some marshmallows.  When everyone was done roasting marshmallows we went back inside and played games and some watched a movie about trees.  After that the teachers told us it’s time for bed. So we all went to bed.  I did not sleep well, someone would be making noise at like 3 in the morning. I think that that person knows who they are. That morning we had cereal for breakfast.  After that we went to our rooms for a bit. Then we went back out to the forest.  Day 2 we went and explored the forest even more.  Then we had lunch. For lunch we had mini pizzas.  I had 2 mini pizzas.  After that we went upstairs and filled out booklets and looked at leaves. Then we went and explored the forest even more(boring I know). Then we were looking at trees.  When we came back we had snack. For snack we had salad. Then we went outside and had races. After the races we then went and explored even more of the forest.  After we were done exploring the forest, we play predator versus prey. Of course I couldn't eat anyone.  When we were done playing predator versus prey we left the forest and back to the school we went.

It is a good week in the forest for Division II. We have the pleasure of welcoming a local author in to our classrooms to share with us some of his wisdom of good story writing. The author that is teaching us this week is Marty Chan.I believe that it is such a good experience to have professional come into that classroom to teach a specific aspect of writing. Marty will come into our classroom four times this week.I am sure during these times we will enjoy his stories and learn some new techniques. 

Do you think it is beneficial to have guest speakers come into the classroom and help out or do you think it is a distraction? Please Comment!
