Do you go on field trips?

At Adventures Preschool, we take approximately five to six field trips during the school year.  These trips are fun and are used to extend learning in the classroom.  For example, when we visit a local grocery store, we get the chance to walk into the big freezer, watch the baker make rolls, operate the scanner at the cash register, and see where the garbage goes.  Back at preschool, we set up our own grocery store in the dramatic play area of the classroom.  In this way, children learn about their world and try on different roles.  Recent field trips have included:  a fire station, a pumpkin patch, a grocery store, a dentist office, a restaurant, a planetarium, and a butterfly house.

We also have visitors in our classroom during the school year.  Recent visitors to our classroom have included:  a veterinarian and her dog, a librarian, a mail carrier, an entomologist with a collection of bugs, and a violin player.
