The students are amazed to watch the adults climb the fish ladder to get home to spawn. Not only do we get to see many butterflies, sea lions, dolphins, killer whales, tigers and many other animals as well. It's a full day and one the class won't forget. Monticello Dam Students learn about resource management with a visit to the dam. Flood control, farm irrigation, and hydro-electric power are all part of the experience.
Students get a rare view as they tour the inside of the dam.
Fresh Choice, Port of Subs or other local restaurants To give the students a chance to practice making healthy choices we visit a restaurant and let them see what part nutrition plays even when they're eating out. The second graders see how the food is prepared and how the kitchen is maintained as well as getting to taste the food. Other field trips are scheduled as good opportunities arise. We have gone to the Lawrence Hall of Science for special events, experimented at Explorit. We've petted a python at a traveling reptile show at the Woodland Mall and visited a local sheep ranch here in Dixon.
