After learning all about eco-friendly ways to take care of our rain water in the class, we were able to take a class trip to the Jameson Watershed and meet up with Ms. Lynn Vanderkamp once again! 

 It was a crisp and cold day, as we walked down the Springwater Corridor Trail. Luckily, we went the RIGHT way this time! When we got to the Watershed site Ms. Lynn and her volunteers split us up in to two groups - to do two different activities. One activity involved identifying an invasive species of Ivy and working to remove it from the landscape. The other activity was going down to the creek and testing the oxygen level of the water to see if it could sustain fish life. 
 All students had a chance to try both activities and I was so proud of all their hard work. This was a great trip, and we learned so much! Even though it was cold weather, we did get some sun! 
 Afterward, Lynn and her volunteers treated everyone to some hot cocoa as a reward for all of our hard work!

A special thank you to my parent volunteers: Mrs. Li, Mrs. Mendez and MY dad, Mr. Mosqueda! :)
