Field trips are great opportunities to connect the classroom learning to real experiences. For teachers to get students out of their familiar surroundings and into different neighborhoods, cities, and natural environments is something I've had the opportunity to experience when I take my students to the FBLA Student Leadership Conference every year. I have seen first hand how field trips can open doors to a new way of thinking for many students. Many of my students have never been out of their city. This post has got me to think about planning other field trips in the future. It was mentioned that when you plan your trips in the summer you have enough time to raise money. This is something I'm going to do in the future.
