Field trips serve an important role in a child’s educational journey. Field trips help to reinforce what the students are learning in the classroom. Field trips also gives my students an opportunity to experience a different culture, to learn basic travel skills, to handle money and count their change after a purchase, but most of all it allows my students to get out into the community. During the 2014-2015 academic school year, my students enjoyed 11 field trips, some of these field trips were with our general education classroom partners who were so gracious and invited us along. Here are some memorable moments of my students enjoying their field trips.
Los viajes de campo sirven un papel importante en el viaje educativo de un niño. Los viajes de campo ayudan a reforzar lo que los estudiantes están aprendiendo en el salón de clases. Las excursiones también da a mis alumnos la oportunidad de conocer una cultura diferente, aprender habilidades básicas de viaje, manejar el dinero y contar su cambio después de una compra, pero sobre todo que permite a mis estudiantes a salir a la comunidad. Durante el curso escolar 2014-2015, a mis alumnos disfrutaron de 10 viajes de campo, algunos de estos paseos fueron con las clases de educación general en cual ellos fueron muy graciosos y nos invitaron. Aquí están unos recuerdos de mis alumnos disfrutando de sus paseos.
