Yesterday’s Field Trip: Sepulveda Basin

overviewWe were here! The nature walk group walked down the side of the pond, and everyone else played in the grassy area to the north. BTW, that’s the L.A. River to the left of the picture. One the nature walk we saw pelicans just like the ones pictured below. We counted 27 of them. As we quietly watched, they began flying overhead and swimming towards us. What an amazing sight!

Yesterday’s Field Trip: The Film

 Yesterdays Field Trip: The FilmWhat did you think about the movie we saw, “Please Vote For Me?” You can answer with any comments you wish, or you can respond to someone else’s comments. You may choose to answer some or all of these questions, but don’t let my questions limit you.
Who would you have voted for, and why? Why wouldn’t you have voted for the other candidates? What surprised you about life in China today? What did you think about how the parents acted? What about the teacher - do you think she let things get out of control on purpose? How about how the kids behaved towards their parents? What message about democracy did this film have? What message do you think the people in the film got?

I’ll save my comments after I read what some of you have to say!
