I lived in the city of Sandusky for thirty three years and visited the island quite often. I never knew all of the things that were there. Thank you for the insight. Keep up the good work that you have done.

Reading these Field Reports [I love their format] reminds me of my Teacher Workshop experience in 1997. I was fortunate to have found the little hard rubber fish that is on the Bingo Items Board. Having now worked with the Experiential Learning Program for 6 years, I still get excited about coming to JI to work [even though I don't call it that, even on the worst of days].

It still amuses me when a student finds a nail or piece of broken ceramic. They also think it’s a neat way to get out of their classroom for a day [but are they, really?] Where esle can you get dirty without being yelled at and also maybe find an FS and take home that coveted yellow star?

I highly encourage all teachers to bring their class up to JI to meet history where it was lost or discarded almost a century and a half ago. The experience is fantastic, and the price is much better than Cedar Point. The program is unique and is usually considered by students to be “the best field trip ever.”

Keep up the good work, Dr. Bush and students!!

We always enjoy having interested educators at the site. The more knowledgeable, excited, and inquisitive our teachers are about the experiential program/site the more their students respond in the same manner. We welcome visitors of all ages and are more than happy to assist anyone in exploring the unique opportunities for learning that this site has to offer. Good luck with your students, Sue!

Thank you everyone for allowing me to be a part of your experience! I have so many ideas running around my head for next year’s experience with my class. I really appreciate all of your ideas, help, and encouragement. My time with you is definitely a highlight of my summer. Thanks for sharing the field reports – I will be sharing them with my students.
