Fourth Grade Visits the Outdoor Learning Center (OLC) by Rachel B. and Mrs. McKinnies


Our Fourth Grade students visited the OLC on Tuesday and Wednesday of this week. This was our first field trip of the school year and the students were extremely excited. One the students referred to the trip as “amazing” from the minute we stepped off the bus until we reached the "One Room School House". She said that she now has a clear understanding of what it was like to go to school in the early 1800’s -1900’s. The students got an opportunity to visit and live in the moment of a "One Room School House" by wearing old school house attire. The students were really amused by the clothing compared to how they dress in today’s world. They were totally shocked at the classroom rules as well as the rules that teachers had to follow. Along with hearing so many facts about the "One Room School" house, many thought the Science stations had amazing fossils and they were truly fascinating. The highlight of the trip was to actually touch a real live corn snake and see beautiful butterflies. In the words of my students, “It was the Best Field Trip Ever”! This Field trip was filled with fun and it’s such a memorable learning experience for our students.
