When your
kindergartner goes on that first field trip, you want to be
prepared. Also, if you are going along definitely look at this
checklist below to help you be prepared.

CLASS TRIPS |
1. Change of
Clothing and Boots
In the event your
kindergarten might have an accident or were to get wet a change of
clothing might be a good idea. Also, depending on where the field
trip is you and your kindergartener might want to wear boots. For
example if the trip is to a farm or a camp, boots might be perfect
especially in Michigan weather. So often I have gone with children
to these type of events and parents are dressing their children
really cute, but not preparing them for rain or mud.
2. Mosquito
Repellant
Often if it has been
raining a lot, there will be mosquitoes. Mosquitoes will be
attracted to a large group of children. Also, a backpack should hold
most of your items. Thank God for the invention of backpacks. They
are so convenient.
3. Bottled Water
and Camera
Bring plenty of
bottled water so as not to become dehydrated. Most cellphones have
cameras on them. So take plenty of pictures for this memorable
moment.
4. Snacks/backpack
Remember to bring
plenty of snacks in your backpack. Backpacks are so convenient,
because you can carry them on your back.
5. Sharpie Pen
Remember to bring a
black marker. I really like the Sharpie Pens. You may need to mark
lunches with your child's name, etc.
6. Rain
Yes you pray it will
be nice and sunny, but you may want to bring an umbrella just in
case. I recall a field trip. There was 30% of rain. When we
arrived at our destination it was just beautiful weather. Guess
what? The weather changed It did rain and it poured. Many were
soaked. I came prepared with my umbrella. Thank you Jesus.
7. Sunglasses
Sometimes the sun
can be fierce. You always want to protect your eyes from those UV
rays. Eyesight is so precious.
8. Blanket
If you are traveling
on a bus to your field trip, sometimes the air condition on the bus
is very cold. Just in case be prepared with a blanket to keep you
warm until you arrive.
Note:
Definitely remember
the bus number that you ride on. There may be several other buses
there from other schools. I recall a field trip at one particular
school. The teacher forgot the bus number and was leading the
children on the wrong bus. So have a great time and enjoy your
kindergartener.
