Spring Field Trips

Spring Field Trips

Spring is the time of year where everyone wants to get outside.  I have listed a group of possible places you can take your Kindergartner this spring.  It can be a family outing or with a class.  

1.  Train Station - Visit a working train station that will allow students to take a short train ride.  This is such a fun and unique experience for students.

2. State Park - Take your child to a state park to see nature at its finest.  Students will be able to see trees budding, flowers blooming, and birds chirping.  Think of all the wonderful science skills you could tackle in one short visit.

3. Greenhouse - Visit a green house and let students see the process of getting those beautiful spring flowers.

4. Pizza Trip - Take your group to the local pizza restaurant for an opportunity to see how to make a pizza.  You could cover many math and health skills in this trip!

5. Fire Station - Students could visit the local fire station to learn about all of the important tools they use and to learn how they help the community you live in.

6. Post Office - Students would get a behind the scenes tour of how the mail gets from the Post Office to their mailbox.

7. Public Library - Take students to learn about the summer opportunities available at the Public Library in your community.

8. Neighborhood Walk - Create a list of items you would like to find in your neighborhood before going on your walk.  Then mark the items off the list as you walk through the neighborhood.  It is like you are creating your own scavenger hunt!
