Woodlands Park Field Trip

In this field trip to the Woodlands Park, Located behind Belle Chasses Primary School, Mrs. Newchurch and Mrs. Rodriguez's fourth grade students were able to commune with nature, hone their writing skills, and have an opportunity to give back to their community.  They collected samples of leaves and seeds, made cards inviting parents and elected officials to a tree planting ceremony set for March 27th of this year, and had a great time being part of the community in which they live.  In the words of some of the students, "This was the best day of learning ever!"
Check out the video to see what it was all about.
