Trip to Burr Pond.

This lake is beautiful for fishing, paddling, walking, swimming, or to have a picnic. I have plans to catch a big fish.

Meeting Famous Artist.

Last week we went to visit the American Mural Project which was very exciting. We met the wonderful artist Ellen Griesedieck who is full of energy and ideas. She told us a lot of interesting things like different projects all over the country.
All her projects inspired all students and me. It was a very wonderful adventure especially to meet a famous artist like Ellen.I just want to thank the teachers for taking us to the great tour:)

Police Department in Winsted

Visiting the Police Department was very exciting for all students and me. We met a very nice and friendly policeman who showed us every room in the building like jail in which can fit about six people and its separated for men and women.The policeman told us about the hard work they have to do outside the department involving paperwork. At the end of the trip some people took a few pictures with the policeman and we all left the department hoping to visit again but just for the next tour:)

The Police Dept. and the Radar Gun

In the morning of May 3, we visited the Police Dept. We learned very much about the policeman's job-arresting criminals, drunk driving, handling car accidents. And they also handle problems with your noisy neighbor, or a barking dog, etc. They are really really busy.

This is the first time I saw a radar gun. The policeman uses the radar gun to measure the speed of cars. If you are over the speed limit, they will stop you and give you a ticket. Oh~, this radar gun makes my uncle contribute to the government very much. (hahaha...)

It was a very nice field study.

LIBRARY CARDS

On the 15th of April we had a nice trip through our school buildings. We visited a lot of interesting places and one of them was the library. On this photo you can see how easily you can get a library card:)

Walking Tour 4-8-10

Everyone seemed to enjoy the visit to the green, The First Church of Winsted, and the Winsted Old Burying Ground. Of particular interest were the war monuments in the green, the beautiful windows in the church, and the older graves and names in the cemetery. Most of the students were impressed with the history of Winsted. The weather was beautiful for the walk and it was fun to have the GED class join us.

Village Greens

New England Village Greens were an important part of town life in the 18th, 19th, 20th centuries.
