| Students explore the "Land of Extremes" |
Today we had our first field trip of the 2015-2016 school year. 38 students and 27 parents with the
Imperial Valley Home School Academy joined us for the day. This was the first field trip for the Museum since the second round of installations for the permanent exhibit.
We were excited to see how into the exhibits everyone was- exploring our panoramic photograph projector, reading "Rock Talks" to explore what they'd see hiking, and watching an exhibit video of master potter Teresa Castro making a ceramic pot. Kids and parents all got very involved- especially making clay pots!
They were amazed when they went from making their own pots to looking at the ones in our exhibit and thinking about the time and skill needed to make the large ollas.

We were very happy everyone was so excited to join us and to hear the kids and parents unanimously claim "This was so much fun! This was the best field trip ever!"
