Wintergarden Park Session 6-10

Wintergarden Park!

Wow! What a spectacular day we had! We had a great time learning about the Great Black Swamp the environment which the park is trying to reconstruct. The trails and paths that we walked today took us through Oak Savanahs and wetland prairies. We saw toads and snakes...Could you imagine ever traveling through land like this with wagons as the first pioneers did when settling this area? Our guide gave us a lot of information. What information did you find most interesting? Was there anything you didn't understand? Was there anything you didn't like? All in All, it was a good experience, and our guide was so kind as to give us cold water at the end of the hot walk! What do you think?

Welcome!!!!

Hi Gang! Welcome to the Exploring Northwest Ohio History Class. During this class, we will be exploring this great portion of Ohio...this place you call home for the time being. This blog is being created to explore our discoveries about Northwest Ohio as we will learn to write and converse at a higher level of English. You must respond to this blog after each activity and share about what you liked about the activity, what you learned and perhaps, what you would change about the activity. You may respond to one another and add links to interesting information you have found about our topics. I am truly looking forward to exploring the rich diversity of Northwest Ohio, your temporary home, with you! Here we go! Welcome to the adventure! Dorinda
