JCA Day 101 Water Tour at Cowboy Hall of Fame!

Field Trip Day!
We went to New Mexico Jr. College to the Cowboy Hall of Fame....
We participated in a water tour.....
We learned about things that sink and float...
Animals that live in water like lakes, rivers, and oceans...
We learned what happens to our streams and rivers when it rains and washes pesticides and herbicides into them....
There are pollutants like plastics in the ocean that harm the sea life...
We had lots of cool experiences...
And we even swam with the fish!
We learned ALOT, and it was LOTS of FUN!!!


Then............................
We had a Happy Meal......
It was yummy....
And we got toys, too!
Lots of great families at JCA!
