Peninsula week of Feb. 9th, 2010 Arastradero Preserve

Arastradero Preserve (Feb 9-13)
Trekkers had a nice time at Areastradero Preserve. We started class in the Visitor's Center listening to different bird calls (remember the songbird and quail sounds?), smelling leaves from bay and eucalyptus trees and looking at our hike on the map. After circle time, we took off on our walk. The trail was muddy, but the kids enjoyed looking for puddles and making footprints along the way. All the kids loved stopping to throw rocks in the creek - as always, I think we could make a whole class out of throwing rocks in a creek, kids really enjoy it so much! We ended class with a great snack and lots of stories about love and Valentine's Day.
