It was so much fun going on a field trip to Garvies Point.One of the best parts for me was when the man was telling us about the Native Americans, how they made their weapons and their toys. I think it was cool that they had to learn so much just to live everyday day . It was probably very hard and alot of work. They had to hunt, cook, make the pots,everything!
I think it would be a fun trip for the kids next year to go on this field trip because it was fun smashing the corn and making the pottery, and it is intersting to hear Ms. Thomas talk about the Native Americans.
P.S Hey Mr.Dugger- COOL VIDEO!

My favorite part of Garvies Point was when we did the search. This is my favorite part because we got to see history and see their culture. What surprised me about the Native Americans was that they were very creative, they used every part of an animal, and that they shared everything with each other. I would recommend this trip for next years fourth grade class because they get to learn about the Native American culture and they see what they used.

My favorite part about Garvies Point was the pottrey building. I choose this because you got to build your own pottrey.The tools amazed me about the native americans. Yes, i will recommend that next year's forth graders go to this trip as well because they will do a scavenger hunt.

The place where I had the most fun at was the clay pottery room.I choose clay pottery because it was fun to see how Native Americans made their own pottery.One thing that suprised me was how they carried thier babies when they were working.I can't belive that they hung their babies on some nearby pole, or tree.I recomend this trip to next years fourth graders because you'll think it's a whole lot of fun too.

1)My favorite part of Garvies Point is when we got to tried to make smoke with the bow, chunk of wood, stick, and a stone with a hole in it. I also enjoyed the scavenger hunt.
2)I chose making smoke because I never done that before and it was interesting to act like a way a Native American.
3)I am impressed that Native Americans were able to do all those things.
4)Yes I want the 4th grade class next year to go on this same field trip because I want them to have just as fun as I had. Also I want them to act like a Native American and I hope they enjoy it.

The trip to Garvies Point was fantastic. The best part about it was the treasure hunt because we got to learn about Native Americans. We learned what they do, eat, and hunt. I think my class would enjoy this because it was like 3-D. We saw what people did and what they at day time.

My favorite part of Garvies Point was trying to learn how to make fire with wood.
It was my favorite part because if I don't have food and shelter and just wood. I can make fire and hunt for food, too.
I thought it was interesting that they have to make their own houses with wood. I also thought that interesting that the Native Amercians don't have regular clothes on, because they make their own clothes from animals.
Yes. I think next year's fourth graders should go on this trip because they will learn about the Native Amercians. I had fun on the trip. We learned how to dig holes in the ground using a tool that the Native Amercians used.

My favorite part of Garvies Point Museum was when we went to the lowest level where we got to make clay pots. I like this part because I got to lern something different.
I noticed that Native Amerikins made their pots cone shaped and I found that interesting because we use flat shaped plates. I wonder how they balanced it.
Yes I'd recommend that the next year fourth grade would go to this trip because last year 4th grade went too and it is very interesting to learn about Native American culture.

I liked the dugout canoe at Garvies Point. I chose that because I like how we got to sit in it, how it's made out of tree bark and how it can hold people in it. The thing that suprised me was that they wouldn't let the mask see the outside. Yes i would sugest it as another fourth grade field trip next year because you can learn a lot and you get to hold Native American tolls.

My favorite thing was playing with the yoyo.It was so much fun!I chose it because they used it to start a fire and I wanted to know how to make a fire.Yes there is something that surprised me about Native Americans. It was they name there children after nature. For example: If they had a girl they would name it Coral. It's just so cool how they do that.

My favorite part of Garvies Point Museum was the scavenger hunt in the corridor filled with Iroquois Indian facts and other nick-knacks.Maybe it was because it was fun and educational at the same time or something else.Yes,I do recommend this trip to soon-to-be 4th graders because this was an exciting and fun trip.This was a fun trip because of the scavenger hunt,the pottery activity,and you can sit in the dugout canoe(Not in the outside!)
