The world presents itself to the child in what Dr. Montessori
described as “going out.” Through outings children may discover
their place with nature and the social community.
Some of the field trips we have enjoyed include:
|
NH State House
Massabesic Audubon Center
Christa McAuliffe Planetarium
Grandpa’s Sugarhouse
Coppal House Corn Maze and Farm
Shaker Village
Ragged Mt. Skiing
Currier Museum of Art
Mt. Kearsarge Indian Museum
Capitol Center for the Arts
Palace Theater
Found Well Farm |
Lower Elementary Camping Trip
|
Each year in May we take an overnight camping trip and
hike. Students often count this as one of their favorite weeks of school.
We devote four days to preparation as a class packing our gear and performing
a pack check, practicing tent set-up, menu-planning, shopping for groceries,
preparing food for the trip, and taking a short practice hike around the
school grounds wearing our packs. We depart on a Friday and return the
following day. Particularly enjoyable past camping and hiking locations
have been Lafayette State Park in the White Mountains with a hike to Bridal
Veil Falls or Lonesome Lake and Mt. Monadnock State Park in Jaffrey with
a hike up the grand mountain. |
