Field Trips are Fun and Educational

When you are little the one thing you look forward to most about school is a field trip, or at least that is what I looked forward to, and I still do! My favorite field trip would most definitely be the field trip I took last year with the class I interned in. We attended the Dallas World Aquarium, I had been there before and getting to go with my class and the rest of first grade was so cool! Yes, 5 classes of first graders was chaotic and stressful, but in the end my teacher and I really enjoyed ourselves seeing all of the different animals. Getting to see the kids faces and hearing their comments after seeing each of the animals was unforgettable. They were so fascinated by each and every animal and I am so glad I got the oppurtunity to attend the field trip with them, I was truly blessed with a great class and a great mentor teacher.
