Port had a field trip today-to Wal-Mart (I thought that was weird too). His class has been learning about communities, and the trip was to see all the different workers in a community (I guess).
We kinda thought, Wal-Mart, he goes there every day! But then we thought maybe they'd get to go in the back and see how the warehouse part works, where they unload the trucks, load the freezer, how the bakery works, etc...
(Portie's group)
Uuum NO. They didn't get to do any of that. Basically the Asst. Manager of the store walked them around and said "this is the bakery. They make cakes there." (same with the clothes, the toys, and the garden center). It was lame. The teachers were pretty disappointed too, but, hey, fieldtrips are fun just because they're fieldtrips.
During the trip, Portie told his teacher, "this is not fun." She laughed.
(a cute, really blurry picture of Coopie. He kept "raaar"ing at the dinosaurs in the toy isle)
After the awesome field trip, the kids came back to sing a
few songs, listen to a story, and have snack.
Coopie got to go too :)
When we got in the car to go home, we called Da-Da. I said "Portie let's call Da and tell him your field trip was whack!" He gets on the phone and says, "Da! My field twip was wacky"
It wasn't the best field trip, but it had good intentions. We looove Port's school! They thought the same thing I did about what we thought we were going to see. His teachers did a great job preparing the kids and telling them they weren't going to buy anything and things like that. It was fun to go with Portie, even if it was to Wal-Mart. He was really excited to have me and Bubb go to "schoe wiss him."
