Forsyth Park & Fountain - Savannah's GemI hope that you enjoyed seeing the sites with me this past week, as much as I enjoyed showing you around.
You probably didn't even realize how much you were learning. That's our job, sometimes - us teachers - to disguise learning. One of the most effective ways is with a field-trip. With tighter budgets, both for school districts and families, these educational get-aways are becoming less and less common.
Don't let it discourage you though. Get creative! When you can't take your students on a field-trip, bring it to them. That's what I did for all of you last week. I took you with me, to... SAVANNAH, Georgia!
Whether you are an aspiring elementary, history, art, geography, math or English teacher, I hope you found some sort of inspiration. Grab your camera and bring Somewhere, Educational back to your classroom.
Please share your stories of favorite (or disastrous) field-trips, or similar experiences to what I've described this week, by commenting on this post!
Want to see more of Savannah? I highly recommend either of the following sites, which both provide great information about the city, its events, history, accomodations and much more:
