School Field Trip!

tI guess “My Muse” has been welcoming you readers long enough, (the post just below this one, and totally different)  and it’s time to post something new.  Yesterday was a fun day.  I work in a middle school, and we had an all day field trip!  The kids had a blast, and it was even better because they earned this trip through good grades and behavior for a semester.  It was fun for all! 

 

We split the grades up, and some went one place, and the others went to a different place.  All was well, but everyone was tired when we got back, or maybe I should say, “the adults were!”  If you’ve never gone on a field trip with middle schoolers, you should.  Sometimes this age group gets a bad rap because they are going through so many changes, but this age can also be a lot of fun to be around.  I’m not saying it’s always perfect, because, of course, it’s not.  Nowadays, the school work is harder than it used to be, and the homework is piled on.  So, a fun day no matter if it’s a movie and popcorn in school, or a field trip to a fun place is a good reward for them.   When we got back from the trip, we were very proud of them!
