Trevor and Ian's field trip to Westwood Nature Center




I got to accompany Trevor and Ian's kindergarten class on their first field trip, to Westwood Nature Center in St. Louis Park, about 20 minutes from school. The theme was "apples," so they saw a puppet show that taught them about apple trees, went on a leaf walk and got to make some apple cider with a 100-year-old cider press. They got to have some cider also, but bottled cider, not the cider they made. They also got to see the creatures at the nature center. Trevor was fascinated by the tarantula. Ian was proud of the big leaf he found.
