BACK IN THE CLASSROOM

Your Hidden Villa experiences don't stop when you get off the bus back at school. To really understand everything you learned about nature and about yourself at Hidden Villa it's important to reflect on your Hidden Villa experiences. Reflect means to remember something and think deeply about it. Writing, talking with your classmates and sharing stories with family are great ways to reflect about your Hidden Villa experiences.

Your experiences at Hidden Villa can also help you learn the academic standards for your grade. For example, what you learned about the environment at Hidden Villa will probably help you understand what your class is studying in life sciences. However, your experiences at Hidden Villa can also inspire and motivate you in other classroom projects. For example, in our class everyone really loves writing about our time at Hidden Villa. This makes learning to write essays, stories and poems much more fun! And because it's fun we have more energy and interest in making it the best piece of writing we can.
