After the field trip, try these ideas to encourage your child’s interests and learning.
Talk about the trip. Ask questions that will inspire your
child to think about what he observed. For example, if he
visited a pizza shop, you could ask, “Were the pans bigger or
smaller than the ones we have at home?”
Learn more together at home. Find related books at
the library, or search for Web sites with more information.
Write a letter or e-mail. Have your child write to a family member or friend to tell them about the trip. You can write
down her words as she dictates them.
Take a field trip of your own. Go to a local museum,
natural area, zoo, or other interesting spot. The whole family
will learn together, and the new experience will give everyone
plenty to talk about.
