On January 12th, unexpected squeals of delight came from Wright Charter’s CalSERVES room. Two presenters from the Environmental Discovery Center came to teach the students about tide pools. They brought posters and souvenirs, which the students thoroughly enjoyed, but their favorite part was the live sea creatures! Students got to see and touch several animals including: Sea Stars, a Sea Sponge, Sea Urchin and a Cyton (Sea Slug). Kristina Stanton, one of the presenters, was very pleased with the outcome. “We love coming to teach kids about science. And it’s been great getting to show students some animals from our local tide pools!”
The Environmental Discovery Center is part of the Sonoma County Regional Parks Foundation. The presentation was one of many free programs offered along with: habitats, life cycles, adaptations, food webs, plant ID and structure, water conservation, etc. All of which Wright Charter’s After School anxiously anticipates!
Our next presentation will be a Martial Arts Group on February 16th.
