Good Morning Teachers,
As you consider booking an upcoming School Learning Expedition, remember Jurupa Mountains Discovery Center is more than just Rock Collecting at the Dinosaurs. We offer a wide variety of School Learning Expeditions that complement both science and social science curriculum. One often overlooked, fun, a little messy, and educational School Learning Expedition is our Adventures in Adobe. This is a School Learning Expedition that offers Student Explorers the opportunity to immerse themselves in the adobe-making process while discovering the many ways adobe has played a role in California history. One noteworthy aspect of Adventures in Adobe is that this expedition can be tailored to complement a variety of classroom curriculums. If you choose to book an Adventures in Adobe School Learning Expedition, here is what you can expect for your Student Explorers.
If you are a Kindergarten or 1st-grade teacher, your Student Explorers will discover that in many ways life in the United States long ago was very different from our life today, however, in some ways it was the same. For example, long ago, children living in California would have eaten different foods; played different games; and had different chores. Even houses long ago were different than our houses today. As a way to demonstrate this concept, Explorers will discover the importance of working together as they make adobe, an important building material from days past, using their feet. They will use their adobe to create a brick of their own.
