Lake Merritt aviary and the gardens where they learned about a variety of bird
and plant species.Then students teamed up to learn how to kayak at Lake Merritt
Boating Center. Here are some of their comments:
“The best part was when my mom didn’t know where the drinks
section was. So I told her it was in the bebidas
section. I was so happy because I finally recognized a word in Spanish at a
Mexican restaurant” -Mary Lynn
“The food was very delicious. I hope I go again soon.”-Edson
“It was my first time kayaking, but still I wasn’t scared at
all”-Sule
“I was going so fast”- Richard Washington
“ I spoke Spanish like there was no tomorrow and I said ‘hola, yo quiero unas enchiladas con pollo’
and it was good!”- Atlal
“ I was scared when I got on the boat, but then I got used
to it. I was riding and I almost flipped the kayak over!”-Francisco
