Day 8

Day 8 of to the woods. We started the day off by watching a TED talk about how we should listen more. After the TED talk we went on a bus to take us to go canoeing. This is my first time canoeing! I had so much fun. Jess was my partner for my partner for the canoe. We had so much fun because there was this part of the river which was really calm, and we we re alone, where Jess went crazy. She always go crazy when she dehydrates. She decided it would be more fun to chase after the geese and to stand on the canoe so we can tip over. It's funny when Jess is crazy because she is always the mature one and then I become the mature one when she is crazy. We also got stuck in so many places! So many times we were going backwards and we didn't even care.  After we FINALLY got back we ate lunch. After lunch we went back to the school and started on our recipe poem. A recipe poem is basically a poem in form of a recipe over what makes up nature. Mine is about what makes up a river. The poem is...

How to make a River

Take a million drops of water

Put a handful of moss in a seperate  bowl

A million of  rocks

Mix the rocks with the moss

If you would like it to be sweet, add some fallen trees

If you want it to be sour add some slugs and clams.

That is how you make a River.


On the canoe I took a few minutes and listened to the nature. I heard the water rippling. I heard the bird chirping. There was a Robin chirping and I am pretty sure I even heard a woodpecker chirping. I also heard the twig snapping. I heard the cars go by since we were by a street. When I opened my eyes I saw a beaver!
