- Confirm all transportation and reservation and double check all contacts. Be on time to everything with your class. Get permission from all parents and school.
- Help children explore, ask intriguing and thought-provoking questions.
- During the field trip be attentive to all students, let all faculty and adults know of all details and special needs. Gather lunch, and practice all safety measures.
- Extend from the field trip using activities and discussion after the fact.
- If going to museums: make sure to discuss and implement proper museum manners with the students as to not disturb the public. ]]> 2018-04-03 12:46:19 UTC https://padlet.com/hbr2/j8cy2wp6m4q3/wish/248085883
