Signs of Fall

Seasonal field trips are a classic and well-loved tradition for all schools. The child experiences something new with her learning community as they go out together into the wider world beyind the school environment. What excitement and positive stimulation it creates for them, even more special because it is shared as a group. Leaving the classroom for a field trip places the kids in a different social environment. They encounter a new set of adults and possibly other children during the course of the average field trip. These interactions teach them how to behave in different settings. They employ more self-control because it is a less contained environment than the classroom. It fosters a sense of teamwork and community among the students as they experience a field trip together.
