Field Trips

Published on September 29, 2004 By JillUser In Home & Family

Both of my children are starting to go on field trips with school already. I wasn't able to chaperone my 7yr olds trip to the park and science center because they didn't allow siblings. I do, however, get to chaperone my 4yr olds trip to the cider mill next week. I am quite excited for both of us.

We car pool so our kids don't ride the bus. One of the most exciting things for the boys regarding field trips is getting to ride the bus. Ah, the simple pleasures. I remember liking the school bus for the first 2 days of school then hating it for the next 12 yrs.

I enjoy field trips because I am often introduced to local attractions I wasn't aware existed and I get to meet other parents. I also enjoy putting faces to names. I intend on helping out in the classrooms to further this but not on a regular basis like previous years.

I remember the excitement of field trips when I was growing up. I am so glad I get to experience it with my kids.

I always have, and still do love field trips. My daughter's school is very outdoors oriented, and they try to reintroduce as much of our culture as possible. Yesterday Kole helped skin a beaver! Interesting stuff, that's for sure. I remember my girl's first field trip; she was scared, but the excitement of all the kids was just too much to ignore. I'm sure I don't have to wish you to have fun, I know you both will!
