Last week we went to the Campbell Creek Science Center. We went there in September for their water program and had lots of fun. This trip (for the "Dynamic Earth" program) was supposed to be on April 11th (a Monday), but was canceled because of the (anticipated) government shut down.
It was rescheduled for last Friday. The program was super fun and the weather here is beautiful, which made it even better!
Here are a few pictures:
Our second field trip was this past Thursday. We went to the Performing Arts Center to see the Asian Cultural Performance. It was sponsored by the District's Bilingual Department. It was organized as a "tour" through Asia. They had different performing groups representing Japan, China, Korea, the Hmong culture, Nepal, and the Philippines. These were not professional groups, but they were great-- very varied--drums from Korea and Japan, a dancing dramatization from China, and dancing/singing from the rest. It was awesome... dynamic and fun. But then, the professional came out... the Thai Performing Arts Group from Los Angeles. The performance was so sedate. They did three numbers. One of my students fell asleep. I almost fell asleep (you know when people start blurring together). When I mentioned this to another chaperone, he said he was also nodding off. Alas, they can't all be winners.
