We do this with our units on raw material to market and consumers and producers. We eat lunch there then we go to a local ice cream factory and do a quick tour there too. Of course, we follow up with a bit to eat too.<br /><br />http://firstgradeintheyellowhallway.blogspot.com/Lesliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10299175458199620621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309912989038119423.post-52900784211064373122011-03-20T18:27:04.436-07:002011-03-20T18:27:04.436-07:00We visit The Children's Hospital.

We rotate and they tell/show us what happens if we ever have to have an X-Ray, go to the emergency room, talk to us about poisons, etc. It's really a lot of fun and very informative. <br /><br />This year we are going to a Strawberry Patch after studying plants. We have never done this before, but we're looking forward to it. My husband and I take our kids every year and we love doing it as a family, so I'm sure it will be fun with a bunch of firsties.Tiffanihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04607880511590400641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309912989038119423.post-61883639042001148282011-03-20T12:57:32.286-07:002011-03-20T12:57:32.286-07:00I teach 1st grade and we go to the apple orchard i...I teach 1st grade and we go to the apple orchard in the fall. We also take a spring trip, right before school gets out for the summer, to our state college about an hour away. They have a farm there, where the kids learn about all the animals. They also make milk and ice cream which the kids get to see. They LOVE it! We spend the whole day there!Marcyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11213458764969461361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309912989038119423.post-3464424175291821452011-03-19T20:19:04.912-07:002011-03-19T20:19:04.912-07:00We went for a trip to the Children's Theater i...We went for a trip to the Children's Theater in my city.

If you have a children's theater in your area it would be a great place to go. Entertaining like a movie, but the productions were based on children's books ie: Dr. Seuss, Goodnight Moon, Alexander and the Terrible..., Where the Wild Things Are etc. You'd probably want to add more to the trip though. Our trip lasted about 3 hours start to finish.<br /><br />www.thenewteachernoggin.blogspot.comMs. Kinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12655798023028563371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309912989038119423.post-90845989769861702642011-03-18T16:41:30.410-07:002011-03-18T16:41:30.410-07:00As a parent I don't like the first few ideas. ...As a parent I don't like the first few ideas.

We cannot have something special to eat on campus so this way we can work around doing that. In the past we had a luau, went to the park and had a cook-out and concert with a parent that is a singer, etc. The kids love Monkey Joe's around here!Mrs. Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17140609462754675385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309912989038119423.post-32539033104214362432011-03-18T14:29:27.489-07:002011-03-18T14:29:27.489-07:00Last year, we went to the circus.
