Studying Trees in the Field
10/19/2018
The highlight of our week was our trip to the Campbell Creek Science Center. This was our first field trip and we went to the science center for their Trees and Seeds program. Field trips are an amazing part of the learning process. Field trips allow students to spread their learning across environments and begin to apply it to outside of their school lives. When what they have been learning in the classroom is reinforced, further explored, and added to though a field trip experience student make deeper connections and retain their learning longer. Field trips are memorable experiences. I have heard so many references to our visit to the science center this week. My favorite was when we were reading a book about how trees change as they grow a student said "That is just like what Ms. Molly (our scientist guide) taught us!" I love seeing and hearing these connections.
