The Field Trip is Over

My first field trip is officially over. It was a very interesting day. We got started forty-five minutes late and got lost on the way there. Everyone was not at the designated meeting location and we left the fair late. We arrived back to school over an hour late. So now that it's over I am truly relieved.
The rest of my week has went pretty well. On Thursday my students took the 1965 Alabama Literacy Test to determine if they would have been given the right to vote. No one in any of my classes would have been able to vote. Today the students voted in the 2008 National Mock Election hosted by Pearson.

First Field Trip

I am getting ready to take my students on my first field trip ever as a teacher. I have sixteen out of twenty one students attending. We will be attending the State Fair. It will be the first time some of my students have attended the state fair or for that matter traveleved outside Robeson County. I am excited and a little hesitant. We are currently learning about Geography. However over the next week or so we will be taking a break from Geography to learn more about how the election works. As I said last time so far things are going great.
