Welcome Back 4th and 5th Grade Students

Kadima 4th and 5th graders arrived home safely last night after a full day in Sacramento and Caloma.  On the second day of their trip, students visited the Earthtrek facility for a Native America presentation and worked on tin smithing and other activities.  They also visited the Marshall Gold Discovery State Historic Park, the Gold Discovery Museum and hiked to James Marshall's Cabin.  This state park includes the gold discovery site and Sutter's sawmill and is one of the most significant historic sites in the nation. Be sure to visit the following link for more information http://www.parks.ca.gov/?page_id=484 .  After enjoying a picnic lunch, students traveled to Sutter's Fort. Located in the heart of Midtown Sacramento, Sutter’s Fort State Historic Park captures the pioneer spirit of families arriving in wagon trains at the dawn of the California Gold Rush.  Visit http://www.suttersfort.org to learn more. The students wrapped their day up with a visit at the Railroad Museum and quick dinner before department for home.
