At Van Cortland Park,there’s many natural things,such as a lot of trees, grass, and also insects.Let me tell you guys some things I saw at Van Cortland Park.First,I saw a large field,with lots of different trees ,second,I saw a…….BUMBLE BEE NEST!! It was scary though,third,my classmates were walking until we saw the lake! We saw turtles! I didn’t see them,but some of my classmates did! Next, we went to the water. My classmates used waiters to get in the water so they wouldn’t get wet. Also,students found insects and observed them.The trip was really fun. I asked one of my classmates, ”What was one of your favorite parts of the trip?” My classmate, Mathias said, “that his favorite part of the trip was when we went in the water to catch insects.” My classmate called Thomas said, “that his favorite part of the trip is when he saw the lake.” Finally my classmate Galilea said “that her favorite part of the trip was the scavenger hunt where we used the bingo clipboard to find things”. These were all the best parts of our trip!
