Field Trips

I love field trips. They are a lot of work and can be really stressful, but it really is worth it. I always try to book field trips around my curriculum. You can see some of my past field trips here and here.

Every other year, I take my students on an overnight trip. It’s an incredible experience and I really enjoy going. The place we’ve gone in the past was affected by a fire in the area a few years ago. They’re rebuilding, but it didn’t look like they were going to be ready for students this year so we went somewhere else.

The camp we went to this year was pretty amazing. It was a lot more space and science oriented. The first activity my students participated in was zip lining! This activity wasn’t just for students, though! All the teachers and chaperones participated, making it a great bonding activity.

While at this camp we learned a lot about energy, space, light, and rockets. We also went on a night hike, looked through telescopes, and built rockets. Of course, we launched them before we left 😉

It was a wonderful three day trip and I am so thankful for the experience.
