Today was an all day field trip to help conserve the Carson river with Kelsi's class & 4 others. We all got Red T-shirts to wear with all the sponsors etc. on it. They had 5 stations to go to & learn different things. The first one we went to was about erosion, we planted willow trees on the bank of the river.
Then we went to a group where we learned about the Washoe Tribe & how they live & survived living off the land before there was anyone else in the Valley. We learned some Washoe words for things & also a dance. Then a guy dressed up like Kit Carson did his presentation with lots of animal pelts & why the Moutain men/Settlers came to the area. 
The next station was learning about the water cycle, they made bracelets & collected the beads that represented the different parts of the cycle at each cycle station. 
Station 4 for us we tested the river water for the PH level, temperature & learned the different types of pollution & the effects of it.
We finished off the day learning about the insects & how they play a part in everything.
