Field Trip: And you don’t even need a ticket

Schools often have field trips as the year winds down. Youngsters lining up to board on big yellow buses. Well, here’s a great virtual field trip for a little bit of break from academics that anyone can enjoy, especially your students in upper elementary. I know I liked it, even though I’ve left my preteen years far, far, far behind. I shared this particular FREE opportunity in a prior post called Resources! Resources! Resources! (Please, see that post for more ideas.), but was afraid it might have been lost in all the words. So, here it is. Load up those kids, pack a picnic lunch, and head out for a fun afternoon. 

American Museum: 

This is wonderful. It has virtual tours and a lot of interesting topics. Make sure you scroll down the homepage to the section for Families and Students. That is where you will find some interesting materials. Especially OLOGY! Very cool. After you check out that location, then explore further. You will find some wonderful things including art, science, history. The T-REX conversations and videos are really great. And right! IT IS FREE! 



I invite comments, suggestions, ideas. 

If you have questions that I might be able to answer generally, please email me. Please, keep in mind that this blog is for suggestions that may or may not work. Here is the disclaimer, professional advice requires much more in-depth information and contact and is beyond the scope of this blog.  email: gail.coulter@outlook.com.
