Visit the website and make phone calls to get answers to special questions about individual children's special needs, lunch provisions, crowd capacity, or chaperones. Optimize the educational value of the trip by considering the questions and activities offered on page 2 of the Class Trip Evaluation Form . Evaluate the quality of the trip when you return, and make notes for future trips to the same site. Have children provide you with feedback on the trip from their perspectives. Children should write thank you letters to the staff, presenters, or organization responsible for an enjoyable trip.
Younger children can draw pictures of their favorite exhibit or activity.
Such feedback is appreciated and teaches children to be courteous. Class trip experiences can be utilized in the classroom for quite some time in terms of research projects that enrich and extend content, writing, drawing, reading, integrating other content areas, and presenting. Have fun and go on lots of trips . Students remember the trips they went on even as adults. Experiences outside the classroom are valuable for learning and socialization.
