Dear Wonderful COSTAC People, Room 25, at Westlake Hills

Dear Wonderful COSTAC People,

Room 25, at Westlake Hills Elementary School would like to thank you for your, “Virtual Field trip of Wildwood Park” that you created for us to view!

My students were delighted to watch your personal tour of the park. Many are planning with their families to go there when it is safe.

Since you created something special for us, we decided to make a, “Thank You” slidedeck that all of the students have contributed to as a gift to all of you.

We look forward to seeing you and the animals next year, it will be better than ever. I can’t wait.

Love from all of the 4th Graders of Room 25,

Thank you for the video on Wildwood Park. I have barely even heard of this park but now I have learned so much about this place. My favorite part was when we saw a gopher snake. I have never heard of that snake. I really appreciated it. Thank you.

Thank you so much for the tour you gave us, and also make sure to stay safe. Darrelle

Thank you so much Costac friends for putting so much effort In the video. I’m so thankful that I got to see the hike where we were suppose to go for our field trip. I hope the time and energy you put into this video pays off by teaching us amazing things! I find it interesting that he was able to identify which species of bird made the nest and able to explain where the eggs went.. Dear Wildwood Rangers,

I am so grateful and thankful that you took the time to make a video of the tour for us.

First, I loved when you showed the bird’s nest, and the black and yellow bird. The bird looked like a painting, and was so beautiful!

Next, I was always scared of poison ivy. After you explained it, I became less frightened of it!

Lastly, I loved how you talked about seed dispersal. I have never learned about it, and I was very curious to learn more. The seed that moved by itself was the coolest thing I have ever seen!

Thank you for making this experience so fun even though we weren't at the park. After the video I felt like I’ve just been at Wildwood Park! That’s how much fun you guys made it!

Thank you for spending time on making a video for us to make-up for not going on the ﬁeld trip. I especially enjoyed learning about Poison oak and yucca. I liked how you can make soap out of the yucca plant.

18 Luke

Dear Wildwood Rangers, Thank you for making the video. I really wish I was there.Luke I loved the part where we got to see the Gopher Snake. It is such a cool animal. I also loved the tip, “leaves of three, let it be” about Poison Oak. The ﬁlaree seed you showed that corkscrews and drills itself into the ground to spread its seeds was really cool to see. From, Luke

19 Ryan K Dear COSTAC, Thank you so much for making that inspiring video. I loved the tips and tricks that you taught us. I really liked it when we saw the gopher snake. I also thank you for taking time out of your lives to make the video since we didn't get to go in person. I thought it was amazing and awesome that you guys at COSTAC that did this for for us. Thank You! From, Ryan K

20 Dear COSTAC, Thank you so much for working on this virtual tour. I had so much fun watching this tour. The animals and wildlife was so amazing. The Yucca plant seems to be so useful. You can even make soap from them! I am so grateful that you guys put so much eﬀort to make a virtual video for us. (The tips were very useful!)

Thank you! Brielle

21 Tristan

Thank you for making the video possible! I liked the part about the gopher snake and the seed dispersal! I've been there for summer camp but i didn’t know it was this interesting. Thanks for the video!

22 Leo Thank you for the virtual ﬁeld trip!

It was very cool that yucca can be used in a lot of different ways like soap and clothing,my favorite part is when I saw the Gopher snake,and The trail looked peaceful. It was very thoughtful of you to make a virtual ﬁeld trip. -Leo

23 Thanks COSTAC Rangers! Thanks for the video! I really enjoyed it and it was really fun to watch! I really enjoyed the nature! Thank you so much again! -Caitlin Payton HI! Thank you so much for making the video of the ﬁeld trip. My favorite part was seeing all the plants and the snake! I liked it a lot, Stay Safe!

Thank You!, Payton

25 William Thank you COSTAC for the video. I had been there before and I wanted to experience it with my friends, but this video is just as cool and fun. My favorite part was learning about the different plants. My favorite plant was the Yucca plant because you can make soap with it by just adding water. I also liked the Gopher snake. Thank you, William Thank you for letting us see the video I wish our class could have seen it in-person.

27 Ryan S

Thank you COSTAC people for taking the time to make us the video. It was really cool and interesting and I wish I could be there in person. One thing that I thought was really cool was the Yucca Soap, because it was interesting how Yucca was used for many things such as rope, and soap as it was shown in the video.

28 Harlowe Blue
