Good Morning and Happy Monday!
It's Sunday Evening and I'm here at the Smithsonian Center. I had a good flight, but it's a little cold and windy here now. There are six other teachers here with me from Oklahoma, South Carolina, Colorado, Indiana, Texas, and Maine! Which state is in the region we're studying this week? Do you know it's capital?
Tomorrow we start in the field. We'll be identifying and labeling trees. I can already see there are some different kinds. There is one called a "sweet gum" tree. Sounds like something we should have at Briggs! It has these prickley balls hanging on it. I'll send you a picture tomorrow. The bay is beautiful, it looked really spectacular from the airplane.
Have a great day; I'll write tomorrow. We're having a pizza party tonight!
Miss you already! Ms. Bennett
