Back From North Bay

WOW! What a great trip! I really enjoyed my time this year getting to know all of my students in a new setting and learning to face my fears and challenge my self in new ways. I also really like the opportunity each year to meet the educators and other staff at NorthBay. The lessons were great (as always) and the NorthBay message of being a filter and getting rid of invasives in your life is so important. I hope that this is a message that we can carry through the rest of our lives.
What was your favorite moment during the NorthBay week? What will you remember and talk about for years to come? How did NorthBay affect you? Post your response this week.

My favorite moment was when I did the talent show .What I Did was dance while other students were singing Jesus Take The Wheel .And Sydney and I were dancing in the back where everybody would see us.Then i was supposed to go with Aaliyah Williams and sing but I did not want to . And also I remember when there was a spider in our cabin and everybody was not scared but I was .And Aaliyah was also scared when she saw a cricket.

I will remember the zip line the most because how afraid I was. I thought the harness was going to break and I would be done for. when I did it though I did not feel scared I was having a blast!!! I will also remember the talent show. I was so nervous to sing the"kitty cat song" and do the dance to it. when I did it I did not feel nervous any more and I think people liked it.

I loved Northbay! It was awesome! I think my favorite moment of the week was when my class went down the zip line, I was totally scared when I looked down at the view from the tower,I was totally freaked! I will always remember when the ropes course instructor Mr.P tried to shake off all the chaperones including Mr.Honer, it was crazy! I used to think I wold never do things like the zip line or the ropes course but I realized I'm braver than I thought! I also loved the "Kitty Cats" song at the talent show!

My favorite moment at North Bay was when we went to North Bay live every night. And we learned about good filters and bad filters. We also learned about how to make the right choice.The thing that I remembered and will remember the most is when I hot to the top of the rock wall. I felt so good.It affected me because now I know what to recycle. And how to do it.

Anonymous said...

My favorite moment was on the zipline. that was awsome. the most disturbing thing was when we had to go to sleep.

Mrs. Handte said...

It is so hard to pick just one! What a great trip! I loved learning about the trees and vultures (even though the vomit smelled DISGUSTING!!). I also loved watching students face their fears right in the eye and do the ropes course, zip line and swing! I didn't so much like when the mean, mean, mean North Bay counselor shook the ropes while I was trying to get through the course...what a punk!! I had a blast spending time with the sixth graders and getting to know them even better! You made us proud sixth grade!

Mr. Bob said...
Guys, I had a lot of fun hangin' with you and showing you NorthBay. There was so much more to experience - I wish we had another week.

As you continue, think about our discussions on facing issues/problems in your life. If you have a defined strategy on how to face a problem, you will greatly increase your chances of success in resolving it (or at least improving the situation).

Enjoy the rest of your Science year with Mr. Honer. He not only is a great teacher, but he ROX. I will be checking in from time to time and see how you are doing.

Ms. Daksha said...

I just wanted to say how much fun I had with my class last week. I hope that you all had a good time at NorthBay. I promised Kierra that I will visit your school, so i just want to let her know that we are working on that :) Don't forget that you all can make a difference in your environment and your lives :)
Ms. Daksha

Mrs. Cerro said...

North Bay was a once-in-a-lifetime experience. I got to witness my daughter facing her fears and accomplishing so many goals. I was so very proud of her! I even faced my own fear on the big swing (and screamed the entire time). The educational experiences were also very memorable. We were so lucky to have Daksha as our educator. I learned a lot about about being a good filter. One last memory - on the ropes course Plisken is evil (Ms. Handte knows what I'm talking about).

Melody C said...

All the activities were really fun and Ms. Daksha was awesome. Please, please, please come visit our school!!!!! My favorite class was the wetlands and my favorite adventure activity was the zipline. And the food was really good too!

Mr. Steve said...

I definitely enjoyed my class from Colonel Richardson. Levi, Jonathan, Austin aka Cowboy, Nick, Dylan, Caleb, Josh, Justin and the rest of the fellas were great! I hope you learned something worth while. Remember those skits and apply it to ur life. Mr H, and Mr. Honer you guys are what these students need!! Hope to see you guys soon!!

Mr. Steve

Mr. Hopkins said...

My favorite moment(s) at North Bay was watching Cody and Brunelle tackle the zip line. They both went down at the same time. Then they conquered the ropes course without falling. If they were scared, they sure did not show it. I almost forgot their handling of the kayak our first day there. They looked like pros out on the bay.

One moment amazed me and that was watching Justin drink the pitcher of mixed liquids in 30 seconds. All submarine sailors would be proud of you!

Finally, KUDOS to all the students who challenged themselves at North Bay.

Mr. Honer said...

Thanks for all of the great responses so far! Keep them coming!

LeonjahN said...

My favorite moment was when I did the zipline.I will not forget about when I faced my fears, I did the zipline,the ropes course, the swing,the rock climbing wall and the talent show. Northbay affected my life by showing me things that could make our environment better.

Billy M said...

I feel so blessed being able to accompany my daughter on the trip, and watching her have so much fun, also i really enjoyed being a chaperone, the boys in my group were all special in their own way and i miss them all.

Chris B said...

My favorite part of North Bay was the activities there. I also really liked the food and the people.

Mr. Dizzle said...

Well I had a blast with all of you guys. Your talent show was the best all year. You guys had tons of talent and it was really rewarding to see you guys overcome being embarrassed on stage and just letting loose and having a great time. I loved all of the acts and the kitty cat song rocked. I'm still practicing the most annoying sound. I hope that i'll be able to come see you guys. Stay doing the right thing. Love you guys.

Ms. Jill said...

I had a blast with all of my girls from Colonel Richardson. It was definitely a week to remember! My favorite part of the week was when almost all of my girls faced their fears on the ropes course:) I hope you guys have a great rest of the year and hopefully i will see you all again:)
