Fish Slough Junior Explorer booklet - Supplemental Material

This is not our field trip, but something to give students to bring home - there is a driving tour in this booklet that they could do with their parents. We will have printed copies of these to give you at the field trip, if you are interested - let me know so I can be sure to bring enough!

(This digital copy has activities that could be printed separately and used in classroom if desired)
