Field Trip

Our school goes on more field trips than any other school in San Antonio (my educated guess). Which can be a double edged sword! It's a great thing when the students get something out of the trip and we can incorporate it into what we are teaching that week. However, that is not always the case. Today we went to a museum which has an awesome concept. Members of this museum came and spoke with staff and students a couple of weeks ago to tell us what to expect. When we went today, we didn't see anything they showed us in the slides. It was amusing also that the staff at the museum kept stressing how you can use ANYthing to create contemporary art, then gave each student a piece of paper and markers and told them to write words. Hmmmmm. Kinder. First Grade Students. Second Grade Students. This was not terribly exciting for them and I highly doubt that it helped them increase their love of art! If you would like to share any awesome art ideas for 7 and 8 year olds please let me know!
