| All the third graders went on a field trip to the Redwood Grove in Los Altos to learn more about the Ohlone people who once lived in this area.. Our tour guide, Keith Gutierrez, gave us a lot of information about the Ohlone Indians: how they lived, how they used different sources from nature.. Following are the pictures and the notes from our trip. |
