We are part of a wonderful home school group- I am not sure how I am going to make it with out them!
I am the one who plans and sets up the Field Trips and Park days in our group.
These happened in Jan-Feb of 2013
One of the field trips we did was to Publix Grocery Store. It is actually pretty cool They take the kids to each department, and tell them what they do there, and give them a sample, bakery a cookie, in the Deli it was cheese or chicken, and in produce fruit and for the other grocery area they have then a package of crackers. They also gave the a goodie bag with a pencil, orange and some stickers.
Here they let the kids hold the lobster (if they wanted to) They also took them into the back room, and let them go in the HUGE fridge. After they were all done they let them get some items and scan them for fun
It's a great fun trip especially for young kids.
Another Field Trip we did was to WFSA News Station. We got a tour of the station and how everything works. The Meteorologist was the most interesting thing, the kids loved the HUGE map green screen. Aaron here is in the white trying to tell you about today's weather.
Here you can see a couple of the boys on the map screen.
Here are all the kids on the new desk where they broadcast the local news everyday. All the kids got to be on the News and wave off at the end of the update. I learned a lot about how a news station works, it was very interesting.
Another fun Trip we did was we went to the Local Fire department. I took pictures, but they got deleted. :( I got some from a friend - but for some reason I had problems getting them on my computer. I am still working on that. But we are going to do that trip again, the loved it so much. They watched a movie about Fire Safety and got to go on a Fire Truck and tour the Fire Station.
