What a wonderful field trip we had!!! We loaded up first thing in the morning, and rode the bus to Martinez Amtrak. When we got there, we waited on the platform for the train, and then got on and rode the train to Jack London Square. We had so much fun on the train, and for a lot of us, it was our very first time on a train!!!
When we got to Jack London Square, we took a trek from the train station, all the way to Barnes and Noble. When we got there, award winning author Bob Barner was waiting for us, with his books and a radio....boy were we curious!!!
Bob Barner was great! He told us about his books, and drew us three pictures (for each of our three classes!) while listening to music. He told us how he got inspired to create the books and drawings that he creates, and showed us how to draw a little bit!
At the end of the afternoon, Barnes and Noble wonderfully provided us with milk and cookies, and Bob signed all of the books that we wanted to buy. Then we walked back to the train station, got back on the train and rode back home! What a fun, full day it was!!!
