Classroom Connection

The field trip is designed to supplement the classroom learning process.

Students learn the subject matter in class and develop their vocabulary and social growth.

The new words and ideas they learn in class are only abstract.

The field trip and interactions offer a feel to the abstract ideas they encounter in class.

The learners will visit the specific place that is already mentioned in class

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A field trip is beneficial if it enhances the learning process in class.

Young learners need tangible examples to create imagery of the abstract ideas they interact within class. They should be able to identify the roles different people play in the community .
