The kindergarten community went on a field trip this morning and had an amazing time. Some exciting parts of the trip included the bus (for many it was their first school bus ride), boats, water, mud, berries and dogs that were being walked. The field trip was an expansion of nature school which the students clearly enjoyed. Being that was my first field trip experience with a kindergarten class I was excited to see the morning develop. Despite being a little cold it was truly enjoyable to watch the students explore this new environment.
A boat just went by and created waves. The students were really excited to watch them reach the shore.
The role of the teachers during this field trip was to record any questions asked but not to give answers. After the field trip we gathered and shared the interests of each group. This information is going to be used for future nature school outings to keep the students interested. Main focuses included water, boats, fishing, and rivers.
