went a little something like this... after completing a social studies unit on "neighborhoods" it is only natural to go on field trip "walk" around the neighborhood and observe all the things you have been learning about inside the classroom. i was so happy to have the chance to go on this adventure with olivia and her class. the teacher part of me loved listening to the students see all the things they had been reading and talking about and making some great connections. besides it being a fun learning experience for the students, it made me appreciate our little neighborhood, the great paths along the creek, the ducks, and the fun park that we drive past all the time. here a few of my iPhone pics from the afternoon...
because of lots of cold wet weather we did have reschedule several times, but i am so glad we finally got to go on the neighborhood walk. perfect weather (finally). fantastic kiddos. and a fun memory shared with my most precious kindergarten girl. :)
miranda and o. they were field trip buddies ready to begin the neighborhood walk. |
