A View from Nixon Park

Submitted by Mrs. Peggy Russell

This March, Valley View Elementary second graders visited Nixon Park to and participated in three nature stations. First, they took a nature walk on one of Nixon’s hiking trails, went bird watching, and even saw a bald eagle fly overhead! At their second station, they did a scavenger hunt to explore all the animal information available at the visitor center.  The day concluded with an animal classification talk where students learned about the different classifications of animals and their characteristics. Second grade enjoyed their time spent at Nixon Park!
