On March 30th, Wright Charter’s 3rd and 4th grade students, of the After School Program, went to Armstrong Redwood National Forest. Classes were divided into groups and led by seasoned docents along the Pioneer Trail. During the hike, students learned the importance of Redwood Trees, their life cycle, famous people who were a large part purchasing the land and the importance of the preservation of the Redwoods.
The highlight of the hike was when students found a 3” Banana Slug. It was hard to tear students away from the yellow and black colored wonder, but once they were told of the snack that lay ahead, they decided to finish the hike.
It was a beautiful day for a trip to the Redwoods and a great way to experience a science lesson outside of the classroom.
