Mrs. Bañuelos and Lucas were honored to be asked by Mr Navarro and his class to join them on an expedition to discover resources found around our community. Students and Lucas, similar to Louis and Clark, used their 5 senses and the cardinal directions (north, south, east, and west) to locate resources and explore their uses in our daily life. Thank you for having us!
