Outdoor School

Landon had the opportunity to attend outdoor school on March 5th-8th. This is a special school designed for all 5th graders in Washington County. They get to spend 4 days and 3 nights learning all about different aspects of biology and earth science in a unique environment in Clear Spring, MD which is about 20 minutes away. Landon was a little nervous when he left the house, not quite sure what to expect spending his first nights ever away from home. 

Here is the boy's bus bursting with excitement...

And all the kids loading up their gear onto the bus the morning that they left...

Here he is with his good friend Bennett who slept on the bunk next to him.

They had a great time learning all about the great outdoors...

And ate all their meals together too!

On Wednesday night they even had a magic show to entertain them all!!

Unfortunately early on Thursday morning Landon got a bit of a stomach bug and had to come home after throwing up. He seemed to be fine at home so after 24 hours without any more problems, he was able to go back up on Friday morning and participate in their big final activity...Predator and Prey!! He was really bummed about having to come home but was so excited about being able to go back and finish out this amazing experience with his classmates!

 

All the 5th graders from Paramount Elementary!!

And their three amazing teachers...Mrs. Mastronardi, Mrs. Crane, and Mrs. Leap!
