I took a half day off last Tuesday to chaperone Logan’s class to a field trip.  The Intel Museum could only have a small group at a time, so this field trip was more intimate, one class a day.  That morning, I was also happy that I could walk the boys to school; after saying bye to Connor, I returned to Logan’s class to wait.  Shortly after the class was ready, we all boarded the bus; Logan chose to sit right behind me with his classmate.  The traffic was heavy and we finally arrived at the museum an hour later.  The class was split into two groups and each led by a tour guide.  Our lady tour guide led our 16 students into an activity room and she talked with us what Intel does and about circuits.  The kids had a chance to build some snap circuits.  Next hour she led us out to the display room to talk more about the history of Intel and shared many interesting facts.  I learned quite a bit just following along with them.  This tour guide was animated and engaging, but she was a talker.  She kept telling the kids to stay on track in order to cover all the materials to earn more free time at the end; as it turned out, they got only one minute free time to walk around the museum before we had to head back to the bus.  As soon as we returned to school, the class said goodbye to the chaperone parents before rushing in to have lunch.  This wrapped up the first fun field trip of the year.
