Coloma “Gold Rush” Overnight Trip

The 4th Grade class had an overnight field trip to the Gold Country – to Coloma.  This is near Sutter’s Mill, the site where gold was first discovered in California. They were on their field trip for 3 days and 2 nights.

The 4th graders “lived like” the people who came from all over the country and the world in the mid-1800’s, by the thousands, to seek their fortune from panning gold.

They wore close to authentic clothing and each were given a souvenir green bandanna. They also panned for gold and found a few flakes.

They learned about how gold was panned from the rivers and streams in the area. They also learned about the history of California during the Gold Rush days.

This is the most memorable field trip for the 4th graders.

This is our third year attending the Midsummer Mozart Festival with Music Director George Cleve and his orchestra.  As usual, we arrive two and a half hours before the music begins to make sure we get good seating.  This hill-side concert was at the Gundlach-Bundschu Winery.
