Who doesn't love field trips? Our class went to the Center for History and created a Field Trip book as well as a worksheet hile we were going through the exhibits. During the time of our visit, there was an exhibit which was all about the influence of nuns on the United Stated of America. In all of my time at school, I do not thin that they were ever really portrayed as having such an impact. This was such an interesting exhibit to me because it was something that I really was not aware of. I feel that teachers should try to teach about all things that deal with the development of the United States, not just the things that publishers have found important enough to include in textbooks.
In the lower area, there were all sorts of things that showed the settlement of the area, all the way up to popular toys from different decades. I found this imformation to be very interesting, and there were a lot of items displayed that I have seen before, and were able to make connections from. This might also be the case for students who visit for field trips.
