Fall Festival

Our Fall Festival at Watoga State Park was great. We divided the middle school into a hiking and biking group. While hiking, Bill shared his infinite knowledge of botany and helped students identify the trees along the trail. Celine and I were discussing how patterns in nature often followed the Fibonacci Sequence(0,1,1,2,3,5,8,13...) and she commented that people were using the sequence to write poetry with each number representing the syllables in a line. I thought that was a great idea, so my class wrote Fall Festival Fibs to reflect on their experiences at Watoga. Here are some of them. I will post the rest next week.

Fall
Fest
Was great
We had fun
We hiked sixteen miles
I am very proud of myself
Next year's Fall Festival might be better than this year.
-Harlee

Me
And
Bucky
Went biking
And I fell behind
I accidently went to sleep
And came back to the campsite twenty minutes later.

Leaves
Are
Falling
We try to
Catch them as they fall
They are the colors of autumn
Brown, orangy, gold, maroon, reddish- a tapestry.

Push
Pull
Riding
Very fast
Ten miles an hour
Destination of Dairy Queen
Richard Amstutz and his crew made it to Marlinton.
-Rocky

The
Fast
Bike group
Had to go
In the drive-through at
The Dairy Queen in Marlinton.
Everyone in the fast group pedaled to the tunnel.
-Garrett

Tales
Told
Around
The fire
Bring fear into minds
Ghost stories and scary stories
All these shared in the dark around the campfire tonight.
-Madison

Me
And
Junior
Playing chess
All day long we play
Until I took his queen and rook
He yelled "Vomit!" therefore swiping the pieces off the table
Then we packed up the pieces into the box, shook hands, and went to have a lovely night.
