Bears Day 5

Throughout the week, us bears were quite busy conducting several different tasks to make the dig successful for not only our group, but for others as well! We weren't as stationary as the rest of the groups because Dana, our group instructor, told us we will be doing things differently from everyone else. On the first day, we were told that we were to set up a dig site. At first, we weren't sure on how to begin, but we immediately picked up on how to complete it on our own. Doing this required using lots of math skills and different tools along the process of completion. Each stake we used had a specific location and direction to be placed. Each day we set up these digging sites for each group. For about two days, we had to look at different rocks to determine if those very rocks were used to grind corn with and find out how long they've been there. By working together, we successfully completed this assignment. Another thing us bears completed was setting up stakes in different directions (North, South, East, and West) along the corn field by using a compass and tape measure. Speaking for the entire community studies class, I think we would all enjoy coming back to do this dig again if we had the opportunity. It helped us bond and build stronger friendships that will last us a lifetime.
