FIELD TRIPS FOR FOURTH
GRADERS
 Fourth
grade students visiting the park get a chance to
relive the glory days of Rancho San Antonio in the park's new field
trip program,
Peralta Rancho Life. This unique hands-on, interactive program immerses the students in the lives of
the Californio settlers who built the missions, presidios, pueblos
and ranchos during the Spanish Colonial and Mexican Territorial
days.The students
learn about the work of the rancho by doing some of it. Students
climb into a saddle to rope (straw bale) cows, dip tallow candles,
grind nixtamal on mano y matates, make tea with a molcajete, and
build adobe bricks. They also don Californio outfits and learn
to dance as was done at the Fandangos. And to remind them that there
were children on the ranchos, the students play Californio games and
learn to make there own toys.
If you are a teacher and would like to book a field trip, please
contact Wells Twombly at
wells@peraltahacienda.org or (510) 532-9142.
