Mr. Bartlett's 4th grade class from Ridgeview Elementary in Yucaipa: . . . . Tue, Dec 18, 11:21AM PST (-0800 GMT)
Our class has been going strong with the Camp Internet online activities, as well as special projects in class. We started the year with a study of fossils, and how they tell us about California history. The students wrote newspaper articles about finding fossils, then we made plaster fossil molds. The students had a great time and learned how archaeologists use their tools to uncover ancient artifacts.

While studying California Indians, we had a chance to make Indian fry bread. Students brought in toppings of their choice like powdered sugar, jelly, and peanut butter. Students got to mix and form their own loaf before cooking it.

Mr. Hillwig, a parent from the class, came in and showed the class how relief maps work. He is a land surveyor in Yucaipa, and has experience with all sorts of maps and GPS/GIS. He had the class make relief maps from construction paper to show how the elevation can rise and fall.

The class had an excellent chance to go to Cal State San Bernardino to take part in the California Native American Festival. We met California Indians from the southern California area, and heard their stories about what it was like growing up. They shared their crafts, songs, and legends from their culture. Every student left with a bag full of goodies, including a neat shirt.

L. Walker's class has written reports about some of the CA Indians....
THE HOOPAS
The Hoopas lived near the Trinity River, next to the Yuroks and their home was in a small village. They fished with spears. They used spears to kill animals, to take their fur. They used the fur to protect themselves from the cold.
THE YUROKS
The Yuroks made canoes from trees. They ate berries and nuts from the trees. They caught salmon with weirs.
THE MOJAVES
The Mojaves lived in what is now called the Mojave Desert. The Mojaves used grass and mud to build their homes. There was not much food to eat in the desert, so the Mojaves became farmers.
The Mojaves did not get all of their food from agriculture. The Mojaves caught fish by using nets, scoops, and fishing lines in the Colorado River. They ate the meat of rattlesnakes and lizards.

Pipes Canyon is located near Yucca Valley. It is managed by the Nature Conservancy and open to visitors every day. Our class went there in late November.
Noelia/Valley View: . . . . Thu, Jan 3, 6:20PM PST (-0800 GMT)
During our trip to Pipes Canyon we saw some rock art. There were also some holes in the ground. We saw some bear's prints on a rock. There was also a cave that might have belonged to a Pack Rat. We also saw a beetle and a lot of coyote scat. The coyote scat smelled really bad.

We walked like about one mile. It was really cold in Pipes Canyon. When we were outside of the ranger office we saw frozen water. We saw a plant that was used for breath freshener and for tea. We also saw a stream but there was no water, because water only flows through when there is melted snow. 
Noelia/Valley View: . . . . Fri, Jan 4, 8:25PM PST (-0800 GMT)
Before we went to lunch we saw were the two rangers get light for their house in Pipes Canyon. There were also two big satellite dishes to get solar power. They were also to get T.V and heat for there houses. 
Noelia/Valley View: . . . . Fri, Jan 4, 8:27PM PST (-0800 GMT)
While we were eating lunch we talked to one another. After lunch it was time to come back to school. On the way back to school we saw Pioneertown. Nobody lives in Pioneertown any more. The guys that showed us around were Sean and Brad. They were really nice. That is what we did in Pipes Canyon. 
I hope I get to go there again when the snow has melted and there is water flowing through the river and also that other people get to see how cool and exciting it is in Pipes Canyon. That was the best field trip I ever have been to in my whole life.

Hello campers, We missed the opportunity to introduce ourselves, so just a little bit to share before we tell you what we have been doing with Camp Internet during this, our first year. First of all, we are a 4th grade class in a Mathematics, Science, & Technology Magnet Center. If you visit our web page, button , soon to be updated, you will see some of the things that make our school unusual and exciting. Our classroom can be quite noisy, especially when our animals get started. 
Guess who the noisiest is!

As you can see from our pictures, we are studying the “California Back Country.” Otherwise know as the “California Outback” in our classroom. 
You can also see that one of our favorite stories was about the Maidu 
.
One of the activities we are involved in is making a digital record of the Natural History Museum collection which we have had at our school for the past three years. The California portion of the artifacts are of particular interest to us this year. You can see for yourself how fortunate we are to have these items.
Another activity connected to the California Back Country, is our garden project. We started out the year just exploring what crops last years students had left behind.
And of course some to share with the pond animals 
We found more than that. We found our own artifacts 
So now we are preparing to plant our garden with a California Back Country theme. Wish us luck!

Our fifth grade class has been studying Endangered Species.We did all the research on line.Learned how to download pictures from the web.We wrote a brief report on our choosen animal. We turn all our findings into a booklet, including text and pictures.
The class enjoyed this project and learned a great deal about why some animals have become endangered and how we can help to protect them in the future.
Ms. Pitt, Tulsa Street, Room 43: . . . . Thu, Jan 10, 3:03PM PST (-0800 GMT)
The students from Room 43 at Tulsa Elementary are trying to identify the types of rodents and small animals eaten by the owls which fly the skies of the California Backcountry. By disecting the owl pellets, sorting and classifying the types of skeleton parts found in the pellets, the students hope to estimate the number of different varieties of small animals which live in the area.

Monica, Crystal, Allyson Palm View School Our Trip to Joshua Tree National Park On Wednesday, March 6th, 2002, we went to Joshua Tree National Park. We went to the southern entrance to enter Joshua Tree. We picked up the park rangers and we headed to Cottonwood Springs. The elevation of Cottonwood Springs is 2,952 feet. When we met our Park Ranger, she told us about how plants adapt to the wild. There were about four different categories. The categories are: canteen kids, white shirt special, shade club, and suntan lotion lovers. Shade club is like a Yucca Tree making shade for itself. Now we’re going to tell you how animals adapt. There are a couple of categories. Like big ears, which are rabbits, because they have big ears and that gives them their own air conditioning. Nocturnal is like a kangaroo rat. It can see in the dark. That’s what we learned at Joshua Tree. ......

March 21, 2002: Our class visited the Student Creative Recycle Art Program in Indio, CA. We learned about recycling and reusing things and how it helps the environment. Then, we used our creativity to make things using discarded items. We had a good time. Check out their website.button
