The first time i went to Mr.B's backyard i loved mostly everything but the spider webs. The big ponds filled with ducks, birds and other animals. I saw water snakes, insects, and many other creatures, but i think it was so cool seeing the small animals in the water.

My first experience at Mr.B's backyard classroom was wonderful! I came into it thinking it was just some little thing and it wouldn't be fun but I was proven wrong! Mr.B's was amazing! There was so much wildlife and nature it was breath taking. I saw wildlife like ducks,geese,water snakes,water bugs there was just so much! I loved Mr.B's backyard classroom and look forward to visiting it again!

It was amazing. Though it was sad that the second pond had no water. I wonder were the marine creatures went. There were a lot of ducks in 2015, but this year only 2 were spotted. This was a great experience.

My first seventh grade Mr.B's Backyard experience was really cool. I saw some fluffy ducks swimming is a pond diving their heads under water. I was a little disappointed that I didn't see a turtle but I briefly saw a rabbit sprint into some bushes. Hopefully I'll see a turtle next time I go.

I really enjoyed the small little trip there. There was so many new thing i didn't think to see. I saw blue dragon flies which i have never seen before. And i saw a water snake which was really interesting.But the one thing i look forward to do is go back there again and see all the other projects they have made and see how much time and work was put into the projects.

In Mr.B's Backyard it was a lot of things that I noticed and that surprised me.One of the things that I noticed was that one of the ponds was empty and the other pond's water was low. Something that surprised me was that I saw a geese nest by a tree and I never saw one before. This is what I notice and what surprised me about all the things I saw.

My first visit was amazing and one thing that surprised me was the giant silk web I saw when I was looking for some animals. Then when I saw the giant empty pond I was just surprised and amazed at the same exact time. The thing that I am looking forward to this year is to see more animals and to see the empty pond filled up this year so I can see more new and awesome animals.

My very first 7th grade trip to Mr. B's backyard classroom was pretty exciting. I saw animals, a pond, mushroom, different types of trees, bay berry, etc. Something that surprised was the pond. Since my teacher said there was a drought, I thought there wasn't going to be any water. But there was, and there were ducks too! There was only 2 ducks but i thought it was pretty cool to see them swim while they were dunking their heads in the water. It was a bit funny too. Another thing that surprised me was the bunny that was running super fast. I wonder where he tried to hide himself. It was really surprising though. What I'm looking forward to see this year in Mr. B's backyard classroom is a lot of animals. I love to observe animals and see what they are doing. Another thing that I look forward to see this year is different types of food animals eat. I saw a bay berry bush I heard that birds eat the berries, but its poisonous to humans. really hope this year will be fun.

Hi, my name is Kayla and recently I went to Mr. B's backyard classroom. There was a lot of nature such as flowers, grass, trees, etc. There was also a huge pond that ducks were swimming in. The flowers that I saw are called yarrows. They were white bushy and tall. I also saw water bugs. There were about eight of them crowded around in the water. Water bugs are very good at gliding across the water. When I saw them it was like they were sliding on roller skates but they were just doing there thing. I also saw a good amount of pine cones to. There's a lot of pine trees at Mr. B's so there were also a lot of pine cones from the pine trees. I really liked going to Mr. B's. It was nice to be surrounded by nature.

The seventh grade experience was amazing. There were so many differences. One of the ponds didn't even have water,and, the main pond didn't have much water like it normally does. On top of that there were no snakes. Plus there was only two ducks. We did see a flock of geese though.

My first visit to Mr. B's was fun there was lots of animals and the water was really low. The types of animals were bird and ducks there were even geese flying. What surprised me the most is when i saw that there was a lake that was empty because it hasn't rained at all in a while. I'm looking forward to seeing how how it changes during the seasons and see if there are any other animals that are there when it gets colder or when it gets hotter.

As my first seventh grade visit of Mr. B's it was not what i expected everything was normal snake holes in the ground, dragonflys flying around, but one thing was missing. The one thing that was missing was the water one pond had barely any water and the the other had no water. Usually the whole pond is full of water but little too none was in the pond.

I have been to Mr.B's many times and every time I go it is wonderful. There are always ducks swimming in the pond, and many living things everywhere. When you go to Mr.B's you feel part of nature and you could see little things that could make your day. Even though it might be a small place to see nature every little thing there is

Next time I go I want to see those water snakes. I don't know the actual name of the snakes. I saw this ground hog hole too I originally thought it was some sort of spider nest.

I observed a lot of things in Mr. B's Backyard classroom. It was interesting how the pond was dried up and most of it had cracks. I saw small insects jumping around and the ducks were swimming under water looking for food. I also saw a huge spider web on a log, it had spider eggs and flies trapped in the web. I've had a wonderful experience in Mr. B's Backyard classroom.

My experience at Mr.B's Backyard can be described in many words.Something on the lines from fun, interesting, and a learning experience. We started of by seeing a hummingbird fly by as quick as the wind. Then, when we headed by the pond there was a northern water snake waiting for us on a log. Sadly, our last find was a duckling following his mother on the east side of the lake. Mr.B's Backyard is highly recommended if your ever looking for a friendly environment with interesting species of all different creatures.

My Mr. B's Backyard classroom experience was amazing! I saw many animals like snakes, dragonflies, voltures, ducks and humming birds. I loved the sounds of the animals and I enjoyed learning about their lifestyles. Also, It was very informational because I never knew that there were any snakes close to me In New Jersey.The sun sparkled and the pond flourished with water. I had an amazing time at Mr. B's Backyard classroom!

I really enjoyed my experience in Mr.B's backyard. Even though I've already been there, I always see something new. Like, the dragon fly skin on the dock. It was very interesting seeing that the skin could still hang on even thought there is nothing holding it up, and right below it was a real dragon fly. Even though we were very close to it it still stayed put! Since we could see it up close, I saw that the dragon fly was black with a black and orange thing below its wings. I always loved going to Mr.B's backyard, I always could see new things that I'v never seen before. I can't what for our next trip.

Mr.B's backyard was a lot of fun. It was cool experience to walk around and explore. Once i went on to the dock, there was a dragon fly hanging out on the wood. It had a very different looking body. It had a bright orange pattern. Also, the one pond was dried up. Since there was no water, you could go down into the pit. It was awesome to go down and look around the big space. Mr.B's is a great place to go and explore what's around you. Most people don't know about the things that surround them, so Mr.B's is a great place to explore that.

Something I noticed at Mr.B's backyard for the first time was that I saw a snake in the pond also with two ducks on the other side. Then one of the ponds were completely dry all the way to the bottom with a bit of mud but not a lot. Also there were about three vultures flying around looking for something to eat. Then I noticed a humming bird and a dragon fly flying around a bunch of cat tail plants that seemed to be all around Mr.B's backyard. Finally in one of the ponds were many large tad pols swimming all around the pond.

There were lots of things i noticed from Mr.B's backyard classroom.One thing i noticed was that the Big lake was almost dried up!I guess due to little rain fall i really effected the lake because there was only a little bit of water in the corner.Then i looked back at the pond in the back and it was completely dry.I went in to see what it was like and the ground was cracking almost like a desert!Little rain fall must really be needed for lakes and ponds.Another example is when we where looking around we saw how dried up the leaves were shriveled up!Thats not due to fall being around the corner too.

The last time I went to Mr. B's Backyard Classroom was in 6th grade. And now that I just recently visited it, it look way better then it did a year ago. They have improved on Mr. B's Backyard Classroom by so much. I think that every year I come back to Mr. B's it looks better. I enjoy going to Mr. B's Backyard because you get to see so much wildlife in just such a small area. Like this time I went to Mr. B's Backyard I saw a black water snake slithering around and snake skin lying on the shore of the lake. I also saw many toads and different types of birds. This is why I enjoy Mr B's Backyard.

I think my first seventh grade experience was mind blowing! I had so much fun and i will never forget it. I got to see so many new things that I have ever never seen before. I was really surprised when i saw a black water snake. The snake was on the edge of the lake. It was long, slimy, and still. We had to be very still and quite or it would swim away. I learned that black water snakes couldn't hear very well unless a loud noise was made. We were allowed to talk since he couldn't hear. The teachers set of a loud alarm that made the snake swim away.

When I went to Mr.B's backyard classroom I had an awesome time! I've never seen a snake skin before and I found my own on a stick. I was surprised to see all the different wild life. I am looking forward to seeing a live snake in Mr.B's this year.

For my first time at Mr. B's, I thought it was a great experience and I'm looking for to our next visit. I saw many things. The most interesting thing had to be the weird blanket of spider nests. I could tell they were spider nests because they weren't wrapped around a stick in a tree, they were on sticks on the ground with little white egg sacks on them. Like I said, Mr. B's is amazing and I can't wait until our next visit.

A cool thing that surprised me in Mr.B's is that were a lot of dragonflies just on the water.The range of butterfly species had left me speechless.Along with that, the shocking thing was that the other pond had become totally dried up from the lack of rainfall.The surrounding seemed calm and peaceful for beautiful wildlife.The most important thing I am looking forward to in Mr.B's this year is the nature fest.The nature fest sounds really fun and great to experience.I really think i will love Mr.B's since nature has always been my hobby and my favorite.I am looking forward to cool and fun experiences in Mr.B's Backyard Classroom.

I thought my first visit to Mr. B's was great I was really surprised to see just how much wildlife the classroom provided a home for. I particularly liked seeing the hanging, weblike caterpillar nests in the trees. I really hope to see Mr. B's in the springtime when everything is green and prosperous, rather than dry and dead.

My first 7th grade visit was really fun. One thing that surprised me was when I looked at one of the ponds and it was completely dried out! The last time I saw the pond it was full of water. I am really looking forward to the pond filling back up with water.

I saw pitch pine, mallard ducks, a yellow butterfly, a swallow butterfly, a water snake, and a groundhog hole. It surprised me that there was snakes. I didn't know snakes lived around here. I also thought just the place was cool. I didn't even know it was back there. I am looking forward to seeing other snakes this year.

This was my first time at Mr. B's Backyard and it was really enjoyable. For instance, if you take time to observe once you go, you'll notice the little things and actually take thought into them. We were in a drought at the time, so you'd notice one of the ponds are dried up and bugs crawling through the cracks in the ground. Wild flowers are also beginning to grow around the edges of it. I also saw many different species such as frogs, a snake, ducks, and even a bunny. As for plants i mostly noticed many pine and oak trees. I witnessed lots of web-type things on the trees and bushes, turns out this is made by caterpillars. To conclude next time I see Mr. B's I would wanna see the changes and the effects of these changes, such as the pond. It was a really relaxing and fun experience and I'm eager to go back.

My first visit at Mr.B's was awesome. I was really excited when I first walked through the gate. I was really surprised that a whole entire pond was completely dry. also I was expecting the pond ground to be hard because there wasn't any water but it was really mushy. I saw Mallard ducks in another pond. They were putting heads underwater and their tails up high to catch food. I am most looking forward to see a water snake.

I really liked Mr. B's backyard classroom. It was filled with plants and wildlife. I saw frogs, ducks, pitch pine, 2 types of butterflies,poke berry, and oak trees. Every year I go there something has changed, and I see something new. This time, I got to see the pond dry. I never knew there was so much grass at the bottom of the pond. I also saw some trash and a drone at the bottom but we picked it up. This year at Mr. B's I'm looking forward to going there more often and seeing how it changes throughout the seasons. I want to see some new things that I've never see before at Mr. B's, Like groundhogs. I saw a groundhog whole but i didn't see anything in there. In conclusion. I can't wait to see how 7th grade goes at Mr. B's!

My first 7th grade visit to Mr. B's Backyard was great! I have been here before when I was in Reeds Road, but I like it, because it is so peaceful. Something that really surprised me was the water levels. The upper pond had barely any water, and I didn't think the lack of rain would effect it that much. The lower pond was nearly parched. It had a water level of zero.There also were lots of damselflies staying close to the water. I am looking forward to nature fest. I spend a lot of time inside my house, so it would be cool and nice to learn about nature.

This was my first time going into Mr.b's backyard classroom and it was great! It was really cool that one of the ponds was totally dried up so I got to see what the bottom of the pond. Something that also surprised me was that I saw a snake. My whole life I have lived here and only saw 1 other snake. This year I am looking forward to seeing how it changes through the seasons.

My first 7th grade visit to Mr. B's was like a trip to the zoo, filled with many plants and wildlife. I've already been there before, but it felt like my first time there. It amazed me how the small pond that was once there was now dry, in only a few months! I also saw ground hog holes around the trails, and I even saw a big frog pop his head out of the pond! I'm looking forward to learn about the water snakes that live in Mr. B's. We recently found a full shed of a snake!

My first visit to Mr. B's Backyard Outdoor Classroom this school year was amazing. It was very cool to see Mr. B's in the late summer/early fall season because I have only seen it in the spring. My first observation that I was able to make directly after I entered Mr. B's was that the smaller retention pond was completely dry. My science class was even allowed to walk all in it because it was bone dry. I had never seen Mr. B's during a drought. The pond is usually up way to far to even walk down the hill. I was very surprised that the pond was dried up. The larger pond was not completely dry, but it was pretty small. The pond usually goes all of the way up to the path, but this time, the water was surrounded completely by mud. It was the smallest I have ever seen it. The wildlife was also amazing to see again. There were butterflies everywhere, and they were beautiful. We saw a swallow butterfly and a monarch butterfly while we were out. The wee also teeny tiny little frogs everywhere. They were really cute. One of the groups walking with us saw a Northern Water Snake. They were scared, but I thought it was pretty cool. My group saw a small dragonfly.. He was blue and black, and he was really cool. We saw him fly up, swoop down, and then go back to the pond. Mallard ducks that were ducklings in the spring are now fully grown and adorable! While we were there, they were having a good time in the pond. Overall, by first fall experience at Mr. B's Backyard Outdoor Classroom was amazing.

My experience with Mr. B 's was a lot different then in the past. For example, the smaller pond was all dried up. Also, I saw a lot more species than I normally do. This year I'm looking forward to

My first visit to Mr. B's Backyard Outdoors classroom this year was surprising because one of the ponds was dried up and the main pond's water was really low. I have never seen it that low before and I have never seen the pond have no pond. It was crazy. My teacher said it was because there haven't been a lot of precipitation, resulting that the pond's water is gone our low. Even though the water is low the mallard ducks are still in the pond which is good because we can still see them and their babies in the spring. Also the frogs that live in the pond are still there so that is good. I cant wait to see the mallard ducks in the spring and I can't wait to see the birds, the harmless snakes, the grounds hogs,and the frogs croaking. That is what I am looking forward and what has changed in Mr. B's Backyard Outside classroom.

My first 7th grade visit to Mr. B's backyard was very fun. I was really surprised to see the pond completely dried out. I've never seen it that way. It was cool to see the Mallard ducks in their natural habitat. I'm looking forward to seeing the changing of leaves on the trees this year.

My first time at Mr.B's backyard classroom was amazing. I saw so many insects and animals. There were so many different species of plants and trees. When I looked in the pond I saw dozens of fish and tadpoles in their little tiny groups. There were mallards, baby mallards, and they were all getting a drink or catching some fish.This year, the one pond was bone dry and there was nothing living in it. No fish or plants, dry ground and grass. The other pond was the lowest I ever seen it. It was a big surprise to me, but I knew we were going through a drought. I hope it gets more water and becomes i big beautiful pond again.

My first experiences was an amazing thing that iv been to. the ducks are so cool they dip there heads into the water to get food they eat grass and small snails so it was so cool. The snakes were also very interesting they mostly spend time in the water and burrows and basking in the sun. That is why this was such a good exsperiance

My first 7th grade experience at Mr.B's Backyard Classroom was amazing. I have never been to Mr. B's Backyard Classroom before and I would have never thought that it would be where it is. As soon as I walked in, I saw a completely dry detention pond. Most of the other people were shocked, but it was new to me so I thought it was normal. I found out that it wasn't. Also, the large pond's water level was at its lowest that it has ever been and it was because of the drought we have been going through recently. The tall grass surrounding the large pond looked like something in a story. It was a beautiful sight. After I started walking around for a few minutes, someone called my attention to a bush that had purple stems. This plant is called the poke berry. I was surprised when I saw this because I have never seen anything like it before. This was my favorite discovery when I went to Mr. B's Backyard Classroom for the first time. This year in Mr. B's Backyard Classroom, I am looking forward to discovering all of the different type of trees. The area where Mr. B's Backyard Classroom is located, is in a unique place. It is in an area with lots of oak and pine trees. I have already identified a pitch pine tree and a red maple tree. I can't wait to discover more trees, plants, and wildlife in Mr. B's Backyard Classroom this year.

What i found very surprised and cool and Mr.B's was all the really cool wild life there.When i first went in was a Number amount of Pine tree's, the small skinny sticks on these tree's can adapoed to fire which mean's when they the ash is great for growing more Pine tree's.Finally a really cool thing i saw at Mr.B's was the really cool callopillar wed's,at first i thought there were spider wed with a lot of black egg's.But there were identfied as callopillar weds which was very intrusting. Those were a few things about what i fine intrusting about Mr.B's.

I learned that watersheds, is a area of land that drones into a particular body of water.it is important to not letter because if u do when it rains it goes into lakes,ponds,streams, and animals can eat the trash and the can die . Mr.b's backyard watersheds goes into the mullica river
