Nightingale Middle School Ivette veronica Beatrice sarah bianca This is our first week working with Camp Internet. So far it has been very outstanding. On Wednesday we visted the South West Museum, and it expanded our minds throughout the trip. We thought the circle door in the California Coast was really creative. The rattle claws smelled ill but were intresting at the same time.

Javier Saucedo,Alvin Paredes,Ruben Rodriguez, Andrew San Jose The tour was very educational because we would rather go to the a field trip and learn something than learn in it class. There were a lot of rerealistic models of early humans working and some of the women were grindung corn to make food and the men hunted for food and to protect the village.
