Sense of Place at the Park

1. I did not have the time to do a nature drawing, but I was able to take a picture of the park, here is the picture:

2. I felt connected to the trees because trees have roots that connect to the earth itself and just like me at the park, me being there let me feel my roots in the park, as well. 

3. I value the park a lot because I felt that the park is definitely an easy way to find a sense of place in some place that is open and quiet than someplace that is loud and crowded.

4. The park plays a role in my own sense of place in Salem because it helps me get a feel of what Salem is like in a different environment besides the city itself.

5. What I liked the most about the field trip was being able to go the park and enjoy the freedom of choosing where to sit for a half hour to take in nature. What I didn't like was how windy and cold it got eventually since it made me want to leave. 

6. I would love to go on more excursions like this one because I felt that it was very relaxing and I enjoyed it a lot, I love being able to explore Salem and get out of the classroom to find my own sense of place.
