In Your Own Words ~ Sharing with Our Families

"On the way home after our Hidden Villa field trips I share stories with my mom because she loves to hear about what I learned during my favorite field trips. Sometimes she asks me if I had a lot of fun I always say yes! When I get home I love to tell my sister the things that I found at Hidden Villa; she is always very excited when she listens to my stories. This makes me happy because she wants to learn how to care about the environment." – Jessica L.

"I feel good sharing stories about Hidden Villa with my family. When I tell my mom and dad they look as if they are really interested in what I tell them. They are patient and wait until I'm finished talking. They feel proud because I made connections with what I learned at Hidden Villa and my father's farm in México. And I was happy too." - Gisela

"When I tell my mom I tell her everything -all my favorite things that we did. And if I tell her with good details it's as if in my mind I'm doing the things all over again." - Fernando
