Not the ZOO lol. An aquarium is cool- I’ve done that. The zoo is always a nightmare! Haha

Unless it’s a petting zoo! That was actually really good because they were all contained and together. But you can’t take too many kids with you to do that ...

Best ever was when I taught 5th grade and we took the kids on a 3 day trip to camp. It’s a YMCA camp only about a half an hour away. For many students, it’s their first time sleeping away from home. For all of them, it is an amazing experience that encourages independence, builds confidence, and exposes them to things they’ve never experienced and probably never will because of their family lives. Those memories last a lifetime for them (and their teachers).

My third graders love the national zoo, the planetarium, or really any DC museums. One time for economics, we went to Costco and they LOVED that! Costco really went all out in terms of food and freebie for us!

Ayyyy! That sounds awesome! DC museums are the best!

The Kinder to 3rd grade teachers took the students to the zoo this year. It is helpful if you have parent volunteers and you have more than one class going. We also made a behavior requirement contract for parents and students to sign. This way if they didn’t meet the requirements they were not allowed to go.

What's a rule you are expected to enforce that you strongly disagree with or are indifferent to. Do you enforce it or take the risk? I move around as a tutor and am currently working with a school that has a ridiculously strict formal address policy. One of my second graders refers to me as "Miss Tutoring (my first name)" - it's about the cutest thing ever and doesn't bother me one bit. We are moderated sometimes and I'm more worried about her getting in trouble than me for not abiding.
