Recently, fifth-graders from Cherokee Bend spent five days at the Great Smoky Mountains Institute at Tremont.
They learned about life in the forest by looking for stream critters, using nature as inspiration for writing, and hiking through Cades Cove and an 8-mile trail. Each night, students participated in evening activities, including storytellers, folk dancing and a visit from the Knoxville Zoo’s Birds of Prey exhibit.
Each student participated in his/her own solo hike and had a great week learning, building new friendships and soaking in the mountains.
