Field+Trips

﻿Field Trips Planned for the 2010-2011 School Year! ﻿﻿(During each field trip, parents will be asked to attend as well to help monitor each group of students. The ratio of students to parent will be 4:1. This is to ensure that all students are safe. )

November: ﻿ In November we are taking a trip to visit an Native American (Indian) Reservation to learn about the life, traditional ways, culture and beliefs of Native Americans. As a class, we will be watching a performance of the rituals performed around Thanksgiving time. The students will be permitted to venture out (with their assigned groups and parent) to see the other sites after the performance. The website of the reservation the class will be visiting is: [].



February:  During this month, we will be taking a trip to visit the Franklin Institute. In February the class will be learning about important inventions, including the invention of eletricity. The students will have to complete an assignment during the visit, but will be able to explore amongst themselves as well.

April: Towards the end of the school year, we will be taking a class trip to The Camden Aquarium. During this time, the students are learning about marine life in science class and have been exploring through videos and experienments. This field trip should tie in nicely with the content being learned in the classroom.

Virtual Field Trip: This is a field trip the students will be able to take by themselves or with a few other classmates in which the students will be going through a powerpoint to visit a place. The example attached is a virtual field trip of Egypt. Feel free to open up the powerpoint and visit Egypt yourselves!
