And in 4th grade we went to the Museum of Sci- In Kindergarten, we went to the Shedd Aquari- ence and Industry, which is one of my favorites in um. It was really fun. We got to see dolphins and Chicago. At the time I loved trains so back then, colorful fish. And we even saw a hammerhead it was EPIC! shark! During the field trip, my Dad took me back to his office, where he worked for the U.S. Now that I’m in 5th grade, I can honestly say Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under that my favorite was – and maybe yours will be – President Obama saving the Great Lakes. Camp Timber-Lee. We got to stay there for two whole days! The food is great and Carpetball is a fun game. The cabins were huge, but we didn’t sleep much. In 1st grade, we went to see some good ol’ Chi- nese Acrobatics. I don’t remember anything about it though.

The whole 5th grade was buzzing with excitement. But four days before we left we got a bit of a disappointing announcement, we may not be going! But, on Friday, three days before we left, we got an amazing email, we would be going! The Food The food was absolutely splendid! We didn’t try a single thing that we didn’t love. We also had a great time with the hot sauce bottles on the table :) The burgers were our favorite main course while the “potato cheese sauce scoopers” were the best of the appetizers. Also the juice machine that they had was LIT. They had a LOT of juices. The Activities The classes weren’t your ordinary boring math and writing classes, they were much much better. In Leathercraft you get to make your own leather souvenir to take home. In Animal Encounters you meet and hold all kinds of animals from snakes to turtles to Neil the Ring-Necked Dove. (Neil is awesome, so is Lance the Ferret.) In Wilderness Survival you learn how to start your very own warm ball of light! (a.k.a. fire) At Night After all your daytime activities are done you go on a night hike! It is so peaceful at night to hear the sounds of the birds and the water and to see the lights back at camp. The occasional airplane will fly over, which is also strangely peaceful. After the night hike you eat s’mores! ( I don’t think an explanation is necessary.) The Cabins After you are done hiking and stuffing your face with s’mores, you head back to your cabins. The boys cabin was amazing! It was a circular cabin with a huge common room with couches and a fireplace in the middle. Around the common room there were rooms with bunks and a chapel/ meeting room. Camp Timber-lee was an amazing experience, we just wish it was longer! Interview With a 6th Grader at Nichols: Carter Aaron By Grant Aaron Q: What was your favorite thing about Dewey?
