Exploring the Magical World of Transportation on a Field Trip!
Funded Mar 9, 2016Thank you so much for your very generous donation. We were originally planning on going to Adventure City, but we were advised that the school district no longer considers this park as a pre-approved field trip. However we were able to visit the Aquarium of the Pacific for our "Ocean Life" unit. Our students enjoyed seeing the many different sea creatures that we have been discussing throughout the unit.
Our students really enjoyed interacting with the sharks and stingrays in the interactive pool. They were very nervous at first, but became very intrigued when they saw their friends interacting with the sea creatures. They are still talking about the experience to this day!
When we returned to school, the students shared their favorite memory of the field trip with their classmates. The next day, we broke up in small groups to write about and draw pictures of what they saw during the field trip. Many of our students want to return to the Aquarium with their parents. Thank you for providing them with an enjoyable and educational day at the Aquarium.”

An Exciting Adventure in Transportation!
Funded Feb 2, 2015Our children loved the field trip to Adventure City. They had fun riding and exploring the many modes of transportation. The rides were just the right size for our pre-school children. When they came back they were all smiling and sharing about hot air balloons, helicopters, fire trucks, trains, airplanes, etc. During dramatic play they would pretend that they were on or driving these modes of transportation. We could hear our future firefighters, airplane pilots, etc. They even drew pictures about their experiences.
We have used our field trip to enrich their vocabulary and experiences in transportation. The children also made, with the help of their family, cardboard boxes of their favorite mode of transportation. As they listened to their favorite transportation songs they walked around with their transportation box during our, "Transportation Parade.
Due to the school budget we were not going on this field trip. Because of your generous gift, our students were able to have this wonderful experience. They not only enjoyed their field trip but also learned a lot about transportation by this experience. My students, co-teacher, and staff are very grateful.”
