Our Mini-Field Trip
For our mini-field trip, someone we knew quite well came to EIU for a visit.  That person was our principal, Mr. Carey!  We were quite surprised to see him there.  When he was a boy, his family moved to Somalia, Africa.  He showed us pictures of the land in Africa and talked about the people who live there.  He also showed us some authentic African artifacts.  Our favorite was the camel bell made from wood of the baobab tree.
