what's the consensus on field trips with middle school kids here? it looks like my camp will be 3 weeks with the same kids, so i thought a field trip would be a nice break in the second week.
has anyone done this? if so, where? i was thinking of a free admission museum in seoul and have the kids complete an English worksheet on a specific gallery (they cannot leave the gallery without me). what do you think should be the max number of students for this? they will be first grade of middle school. |

| Sounds like a great idea and good way to make positive use of time on a long winter camp, but, unless you ahve a Korean teacher with you it might prove to be a difficult and stressful day for you. Just a thought, good luck though if you do it. |

I've taken my grade 1 (and 2) boys on a hike up a mountain (close to the school); and also for a walk to the supermarket to do some shopping exercises. I had no K to help... but we all made it back alive.  |

It has varied from six to fourteen.
When the principal first asked to see my daily plans for 'camp', I just wrote -
Field Trip - XXXXX XXXX
I was leery at first because I know in Canada, taking students off the school grounds would involve permission from the parents and insurance etc. I was half expecting to be told I couldn't do it... but the Ks just told me "it looks good"... so now, every camp has a 'Field Trip Day'. |
