Another Field Trip

Last week I went with J's class and all the other first graders on a field trip. When I arrived at his class I was informed that I would be in charge of a group of kids. What? I just want to ride along and watch my son. I remember the kindergarten trip being a mellow and fun experience. Perhaps that is because they are still a little scared, or in the "this is all new" phase. This trip, where the kids were not necessarily bad, was loud!! But it was still fun.

First stop was a hands on museum that is geared for kids and touching/experiencing. They had different sections that focused on....

the farm



building your own race car


outdoor life,


mechanics,


and the grocery store.




Not shown was a whole area for dress up and a place where they could paint their own faces.


The next stop was a dairy and grocery store. My son was quite observant and pointed out that cows "pee" different than us. If you want more details on this story, call me.


When we got back to his school he showed me an asymmetrical drawing that he did in art class, that the art teacher posted in the hall.
