You've done a great job of giving alternative/additional options for creating experiences to drive the learning home.<br />✿April✿<br />✿<b><i><a href="www.GradeSchoolGiggles." rel="nofollow">Grade School Giggles</a></i></b>✿<br />Grade School Giggleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03584429943839052906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6563190581050744599.post-1004075079884964792015-03-07T20:58:07.147-05:002015-03-07T20:58:07.147-05:00Many of your activities are exactly what I loved i...Many of your activities are exactly what I loved incorporating into my Kindergarten class. I was also a big believer in front loading my kids in preparation. I loved to see their eyes sparkle from all of the connections during the trip.<br />Kara<br />http://purposefulteachingandlearning.blogspot.com/<br />Karahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01825311766145819944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6563190581050744599.post-57881884915240775932015-03-07T17:32:51.610-05:002015-03-07T17:32:51.610-05:00What busy little learners you have!

It's easy as teachers to get overwhelmed by the extra work of planning these kinds of events and lessons, but they are landmark days for our students and so worth the effort. That huge whale will NEVER be forgotten by the students in your school. What an amazing in-house field trip!<br />Thanks for sharing your ideas and wonderful photos!<br />Linda<br /><a href="http://primaryinspiration.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Primary Inspiration</a> <br />Linda Nelson @ Primary Inspirationhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17052845800294922592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6563190581050744599.post-63706579534275279582015-03-07T16:52:42.504-05:002015-03-07T16:52:42.504-05:00Love the post!

When I taught in Georgia (Savanna), we took the kids on a walking tour of Downtown Savanna. We had a list of things for the students to look for. For example: there is a building with a beautiful fish as their downspout, we had the children look for it and when we found it we sang the Itsy Bitsy Spider. We also had them look for shapes in the Synagogue's windows. This keeps them focused and it adds to a field trip!Cindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03009544307876467913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6563190581050744599.post-58161251792218575362015-03-07T14:24:47.745-05:002015-03-07T14:24:47.745-05:00I need to work on that too - give some sort of pur...I need to work on that too - give some sort of purpose prior to the field trip - rather than having them just experience it with no clear-cut learning target attached to it. Although, just going and experiencing it naturally isn't all that bad either, right? ;)<br /><br />Holly<br /><b><a href="http://crisscrossapplesauceinfirstgrade.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Crisscross Applesauce in First Grade</a></b><br />Hollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10861143488616582042noreply@blogger.com
