 Quotes by: The Student of Project World.

    The Project World Class went on a field trip to Pawtucaway State Park, to do some snow showing. While on their hike they came upon a Beaver Pond and they all sat down by it and wrote their thoughts down in note books. The rest of this page will show you what they had to say.

  tiny grassy knolls look like muppets with grass hair. I expect them to jump up and
  start singing. 
  Evergreens with needles a sickly shade of yellow-green. Is that their winter wear or
  an indication of some earthly disease? 
  the loud quietness 
  a calm slowly moving stream 
  wishing I could come out here every day

  There's a school here. It's a synthesis of wind, snow, sun, and open mind. 
  The natural geometry of a stream slowing through snow. 
  This does indeed beat lunch duty. How right it is out here. How
  wrong we do it back there. Here there are no walls, bells, schedules. Here there is
  choice, freedom, a word teacher, a world to learn.
