It is a long drive, but a fun trip. We will explore and tour the town, visit the museum and Sutter's MIll, followed by panning for gold in the South Fork of the American River.
Todays' Field Trip: We had a pleasant day at the Oakland Museum. We arrived early and split in to 3 groups to tour galleries on our own, then met docents for our History Gallery tour. Once again the docents were super impressed with the knowledge of Strawberry students, and made several comments to me about enjoying the kids company. The tour covered all of our topics from this year, and focused on modern California to some degree.
After the tour we ate lunch then returned for another self guided period in galleries. Altogether, students made it into the Natural Sciences, History, Art and special galleries with vinyl and "Robot" art - video game/robot/modern art related pieces.
