| We
are doing a report on the Wojczeechowski Homestead History of Magoon
Creek. They lived on what is known as Magoon Creek land. This land was a
Farmland for the Wojczeechowski Family. The Wojczeechowski Family had an
4 acres that had a stream, apple trees, and a trail to take to town.
They lived far away for town so they had to use horses and wagons to get
to town. One day the Wojczeechowski father clear cut most of the trees.
In 1925 the father died and they tore down the house. They must have
planted a lilac bush because it is next to there torn down house but
the basement remains. ~Trent & Morley
Sylvia and I went to see Mr. Barto and Mr.
Stroup. It was very fun. Mr. Barto showed us a humming Bird's nest. Also
we got to see a fox too. Mr. Stroup showed us how big a Bald Eagles nest
is. Sylvia saw a Great Horned Owl. It was awesome!! I can't wait to go
again. ~By Samantha and Sylvia
Our class went to the beach to learn about
species in the Great Lakes. It was called the "Study Of Fish". Mr.
Breederland showed us a living "sea lampray". It stuck to my hand but,
it didn't stay there long. It was very slimey!!! He taught us about all
the fish in the Great Lakes and different kinds of bad speicies living
in our Great Lakes. Like sea lampray, zebra
mussels, Quaga mussels, and asian carp. All the speicies got here
by people who came to visit Michigan. Sea lamprays got here by attaching
themselves to freighters. At Magoon Creek we went to lots of groups but,
the "Study Of Fish" was the best! ~By Katie B. and Kelsey K.
On May 17th we went to Magoon Creek. Mr.
Ramon taught us about the science of acoustics. He showed us a conch
horn and blew it. Mr. Ramon also showed us a wooden frog with spikes on
its back. When you slide a drumstick across the spikes it sounds like a
frog. He showed us two flutes. One had one barrel and the other had two
barrels. Mr. Ramon showed us gigantic hickory nuts. That was was what
Mr. Ramon showed us. Magoon Creek had lots of other fun stuff. ~By Rylan
and Ben J.
 I learned about
loggers and how the lived. We went into there cabins, and saw where they
slept. There was a checkers game drawn onto a stump. We went to
McDonalds afterwards, and we got back to school at 6:00. It was really
fun. ~Nolan

On
Tuesday May 11, 2011 Mrs. Bennett's and Mrs. Brown We stopped at seven
places along the trail. We chose invasive species to write about! We
played a game with Mrs. Padalion it was about invasive species and
native plants. The game was if you had a picture of an invasive species
you would show it to people and they would have to sit down. If you had
a native you would try to find a match. If you found your match you had
o sit down together. Mrs. Padalion talked about the garlic musterd
plant. Then she talked about other invasive species. ~By Hope and
Maggie
This story is about our trip to Magoon
Creek. When we arrived we walked through and got to a station where we
planted trees. We got questions asked and we didn't get a single answer
wrong. The people who got to plant the trees were Ben J. and Sylvia. The
trees they planted were White pine. The women's name was Ms. Ensign.
After that we went back to bus and drove to light house park to eat
lunch. And that was our trip to Magoon Creek. ~Blake and Mason
We went to Magoon Creek. We saw a house that
came down and that's what we are going to tell
you about. It all starts like this the house was made in 1840's. so its
a pretty old house. There was a man his wife and 7 kids that lived in
the house. There were lilacs at the side of the house. The house was
about 20 feet long. The sides of the house was about 11 feet long. The
house was about 160 years old. They had to take the house down because
it was falling apart. They come there because there was a lot of food.
There was a creek about 50 feet away from the house. They could get
water from the creek. there were plants around the side of the house. A
sign that someone lived there was a lilac bush. It was amazing there.
