Chula Vista Nature Center Field Trip

Today I took a break from working on marketing for the film festival and went along on a field trip with Frances.  We gave a 7th grade class from Montgomery Middle School a tour of the fascinating Chula Vista Nature Center.  The class was split into groups and took turns exploring the inside aquariums and outside animal exhibits, learning and taking notes about the animals that they were observing.  A nature center isn't something I would normally expect to be very interested in, but when we arrived, I was actually very excited about the interesting exhibits and the beautiful scenery that surrounded them.  The students were able to see sea turtles being fed and were crowded around the tank taking photos.  I think that this field trip was an excellent idea, because it increased the childrens' awareness of some the beautiful animals that are becoming endangered.  Overall, the trip was definitely a success.  I took many pictures throughout the day and will be posting them in my next blog.
