Introduction
Today was our first day of the "To the Woods" STEMmersion. Most of today was used to explain what we would be doing throughout this STEMmersion, but we did do some interesting things today.

We learned that most of this STEMmersion would be used to help us get involved with nature more. This includes seeing, hearing, smelling, feeling, and just sitting in silence and letting nature take it's course around you. We also learned that we would be making blogs to help us keep track of and record what is happening throughout this time. Today, we went outside to the pond so we could sit in silence for 10 minutes. This gave us a chance to stop and actually give nature a chance. We were able to see, feel, and hear things that we usually wouldn't stop to see, feel, or think about in our daily lives. It was really calming to me to just sit in nature, even though there were a few unintentional disturbances from other people. My mind felt clear for a few minutes during this time, which is a rare thing for me.
