Field Trips

Field Trips

Our students at Valentine Elementary in grades kindergarten through fifth have the opportunity to participate in a variety of educational field trips each year. Field trips are an integral part of our instructional program providing students with first hand experience in the community related to their learning in all curriculum areas.

We believe that field trips provide unique opportunities for learning that are not available within the four walls of our classrooms. Our field trips are selected each year by our grade level teams around specific educational objectives for their grade level. Each field trip is designed so that students can easily make connections between the concepts they are learning in the classroom and the hands-on learning opportunities available in the field trip experience.

Our field trips include both our students having the opportunity to visit locations within our community and hands-on learning experiences brought to our campus.

During the 2011-2012 school year, our students will have the opportunity to experience all of the Field Trips listed below for their grade level!
