On my first visit to school I discussed with my school advisor the possibility of taking the students to a pumpkin patch during my two week practicum. She was very open to the idea so I did some research that weekend. I wanted to document the planning process. I’ve been on many field trips before on practicum and as extra supervision at the school I worked at last year but this is my first time being so involved in the planning process. So far
October 2- Talked with my school advisor about the idea
October 4-5 Researched possible locations
October 7- Booked the field trip for 20 students in my class
October 9 – Visited the field trip site after school to look around and make sure the space was safe and appropriate for students to visit. Filled out the form to submit to administration with my school advisor
October 10- Increased the booking to 41 students after the teacher in the other kindergarten class indicated she would love to join us
I’m very excited! Here’s a photo from my visit to the site on October 9th.
Can’t wait for our visit!
Wow!! You have been incredibly busy and what a treat for the students! It is exciting that you have done the planning. It is really good learning. Visiting the site beforehand really demonstrates your enthusiasm for the safety and learning of the class. Wonderful Mahima!
