Miss Myers I have a superior argument on why field trips are good and why we should do more. A lot of museums are free to get into and free trips saves money which at the same time equals free education for a whole class it’s a win win. Most of the information in museums is found by professionals in that specific field which gives you more of a in depth experience than what a normal teacher would be able to give you.
Field trips can also help with the enforcement of rules inside the school which makes a teachers job easier. This is just the tip of the iceberg on why field trips can help students and teachers inside and outside of the school.
A lot of places you go are actually free because there are some nice people in this world. Parks are a good place for recreational activity that is fun and enjoyable for most children. Of course not all kids will like one activity so sometimes you need to have a variety of things you can do on that trip. Soccer is a good activity because it requires running across long distances which is a cardiovascular exercise and It can help a lot of kids with their leg strength. Basketball is

Kids will definitely behave better to go on field trips because everyone wants to take the day off and go to a museum where you will be shushed if you say one word. People will be much quieter in class because they like field trips I think. Students would be more respectful because they like to go on field trips too. Students will follow school rules because people like field trips so they can’t break rules. People will get better grades for behaving and being respectful which causes them to not go to a community college when they’re older. These were my reasons on why we should go on field trips more and get a better education in
Everyone has different points of views, feelings, reactions, and etcetera. People handle things in different ways. I read the story “Field Trip” by Tim O’brien. The story has emotions, but yet it’s still very settle.
I have to say, that incorporating the science during my visit to Six Flags made the experience more fulfilling on an intellectual level. The amusement park showed us, students, that physics is in our daily lives. A majority of the rides, showed many skills and ideas of physics, and everything from beginning to end of structuring the rides.With this experience, we can conclude that with the equations learned, we can determine anything from problems on a paper, to hands on experiences at Six
Field Day was created by Marian in an attempt to teach students things like leadership and collaboration. Collaboration is considered one of the best practices
Kids wanting to come to school will help them get better grades. Also students wanting to come to school could help with attendance overall for the school. Having a soccer team does require more driving for their parents which requires more time during their day, but the kids could stay after school and could bring snacks or even better the school could provide snack for the students. Staying after school is good for parents who work late in the day. Instead of the parents worrying about getting afterschool care for their children and leaving them with people they don’t really know or even might not trust, parents could sign them up for the after school soccer program where they know that their kids are safe and with staff and coaches at the
They also look to see how active in the community they are. Summer break gives students a chance to get involved or lend a hand. Agricultural students may attend the county fairs. Students interested in forien languages may be interested in visit other contries to learn about their culture. Summer camps might not seem very educational but they really are. They give you a chance to boost your teamwork, leadership or problem solving
...s a different perspective of the world around them. Studying what makes countries different and their different backgrounds will also help students form credible opinions of history, economy, and politics.
My field experience really helped me shape, and form more perceptions of the school environment. I was able to see in personal what the job of an ENL entails, and how diverse he or she must be to successfully educate students. It was a great experience, and I cannot wait to create more of my own perceptions in the
Mark, a fourth grader at Springfield Elementary came home and explained to his mom about the friend he had made during band class, and the teamwork he was involved in during volleyball practice. Mark failed to mention to his mom anything about his regular school day. “Extracurricular activities serve the same goal and functions as the required and elective courses in the curriculum. However, extracurricular activities provide experiences that are not required in the formal course of study. These after school programs allow students to apply the knowledge that they have learned in other classes and acquire concepts of democratic life” (Lunnenburg 2). Mark like many children usually forget the essentials from the normal school day curriculum like mathematics or sentence structure, but remember everyday lessons learned during after school programs. These programs or extracurricular activities include sports, clubs, dance, music, arts, drama and such, all programs that benefit elementary students. Today, in the United States when elementary schools do not have enough funds for these programs, the extracurricular activities are the first eliminated to save money. Elimination of these programs causes more harm than good to the students because these programs are just as beneficial as the normal school curriculum. Therefore all of these extracurricular programs must remain as an option in school districts.
My field experience was at Clearwater Elementary School in my hometown of Piedmont, Missouri. My observations took place in a third grade classroom with an excellent teacher, Sheri Rainwater, and great students. Clearwater follows a curriculum that helps children develop skills and build on knowledge that is necessary to become successful in the future. During my time at Clearwater, I learned more about young children and the teaching profession. This experience opened my eyes to the reality of teaching, and got me even more excited about entering the field of education.
Field trips were like a free day off school. There were so many fun-filled field trips I went on in elementary school. I remember going to the zoo, museums, the aquarium, and Charleston. I learned many things from each of those trips. Another good thing about field trips is that you could socialize with people in different classes and meet new people. There was also an opportunity for students to go places they've possibly never been before. Learning in a fun way, is another thing I miss about field trips. Field trips offered a change in routine which made it more enjoyable to go to school. Field trips made the leaning experience more fun and
How can school days benefit kids? Some beliefs on why school days should be longer is for a variety of reasons, kids struggling and kids being able to ask question. I also think school days should be longer because you can get more things done over the course of the school day. This could be helpful because it would only add like a couple minutes to each class. Kids could get their homework done also and could get more help. The second reason is that in an hour short school day we don't get enough time to ask questions. With longer school days we could add ten minutes a day just to ask questions if kids are confused or don't understand how to do something. We could also not cram in everything and get kids confused and it could help them
Museums have been around for generations and as time has progressed, best practices and methodologies have adapted to adhere to contemporary trends. When answering the question of how to make museums more indispensable for tomorrow’s generation, we must be open to incorporate technological advances. As the world continues to move online, museums must be sure not stay behind. This paper will discuss the concept of digitization and the role it plays in museums in regard to collections management and preservation, education and engagement, and accessibility and inclusion. The final analysis will summarize the manner in which digitization contributes to keeping museums relevant to current and future audiences.
This typical format often consisted of lectures and multiple tests. The museum experience is currently changing what we know about museums and education overall. The standard curriculum taught in schools is found everywhere, but what a museum provides is different. School teaching alone achieves far less than what we experience at a museum. Due to the lack of technology and setup, classroom learning is taking a detrimental step back. However, museums are changing classroom learning as well. Teacher initiative is altering learning as well. Through the access of museum services, teachers are finding it easy to incorporate class lectures and lessons to museum exhibits. Taking a class to a museum to explore a concept taught in class promotes newer forms of discovery and increases the quality of
Informal education has for a long time been considered very controversial in the education world and looked upon as just for entertainment. Informal education is commonly defined as learning that takes outside of formal school settings. Informal education can be things such as field trips to science centers, aquariums, museums, zoos, or planetariums. All of the following places are considered to be "informal settings" because they are all outside the classroom area. An educational curator at a small museum in Jackson Hole, Wyoming is as much an informal educator as a director of educational programs for the Smithsonian Institution. Often informal educators are retired K-12 teachers that have received additional training and have therefore been thrust into a more prominent role to teaching the nation’s students about mathematics and science. Many people look at field trips as pointless and unbeneficial to students at any age. But many will argue that informal education is only helpful when students have prior knowledge of the subject from formal education before going out of the classroom to learn. The role of prior knowledge in learning is considered of utmost importance in designing effective educational programs. Informal education is very common with science subjects. Most students cannot understand scientific principles by reading out of a book because textbooks and paper handouts can be very dry and boring. Going on field trips to informal settings reinforces what students learn from their teachers and help them understand the topics better.
learning. For example, in secondary school, students are required to finish the “Other Learning Experiences” programs. It aims to expand students’ learning contexts instead of simply learning in the classroom. While some school hold more outdoor activities as they agree that outdoor activities is beneficial for students, others reject it and continue to use the traditional classroom teaching. This essay examines both sides of for and against arguments of having more outdoor learning activities.
