Dahlonega


Dahlonega

We went to Dahlonega and it looked like I had been there before. When we went into the museum, I learned about Gold, Gold, Gold, Gold!!! Then we also learned about the tools that they used back then. The last thing I learned at the museum was the worth of coins and gold. Then we went to the gold mine. The biggest mine in there is called the Glory Hole. Inside the cave, it was cold and wet. I learned about the diggers. I also learned that it was too dangerous to dig for gold now. The last thing that I learned is that when you get gold, you’re wasting money.

Cloudland Canyon


The three cool things I saw at Cloudland Canyon were a grasshopper, a slug, and the Rock Overhang. The Rock Overhang was a huge big rock that was created all by erosion. Underneath the Rock were sole marks, which are white dots which were holes filled in with sand. The three other things that we learned about were the waterfalls, different kinds of plants, and learned about the sole marks. We also filmed a vocabulary movie there. Shem and I made a movie of a party where we had to put them into the script. What I think about Cloudland Canyon is that I didn’t like walking up the stairs, the view of the canyon mountain is beautiful, and the two waterfalls were also very pretty.
View Of The Mountain

Flying in the plane like a bird
Looking down wanting to land
Feels like ears popping
 My head pressing against the window
So I can see the view
Pretty
Amazing
Awesome
No clouds
Mostly green

Arabia Mountain And Stone Mountain


Last Tuesday, we went to Arabia Mountain. I almost didn’t go because I was late for school. We first took pictures of different things, and we went to the rocky area. We walked through it and took more pictures. An hour later, we went back on the bus and we headed to the mountain. We went on a short hike to get to the mountain, and we walked up the mountain. When we went to the top of the mountain, we could only see green trees. We measured weathering pits, wrote poetry, and took pictures of the mountain and other things.

What is the same about Stone Mountain and Arabia Mountain is that they both formed from magma, and they both have rock pools to collect water.


What is different about Stone Mountain and Arabia Mountain is that Stone Mountain is taller than Arabia Mountain, and Stone Mountain had a better view of Atlanta than Arabia Mountain because you can only see green trees on the top of Arabia Mountain.
