So today was our kindergarten field trip and it was oh so much fun! I say that in all honesty because after living here for almost 2 years and taking other school fields trips as well as my own field trips the whole idea of a "trip" always has the potential to turn out horribly. On any "trip" here you never truly know what you are getting yourself in to because of the lack of explanation of anything. Even if you ask all of the right questions people just tend to tell you what they think you want to hear rather than what you need to hear. I'm sure you can see how that would be less than ideal when planning a trip, much less a trip involving over 100 people.
However, this was not the case for our field trip today and all in all everything ran quiet smoothly! Thanks to my fabulous team and some very involved parents we had a great time!
We went to a place that was basically a huge space turned into a city. The city had streets and side walks as well as lot of store fronts. When the kids entered they were given some fake money. With this money they could go to one of the stores and either pay to buy something or work to earn more money. It was fabulous and the kids had a great time. Here are a few pictures.
