On our Monday night live on Homeschooling in NYC, we covered field trips both city based and state based. There were hundreds of ideas, so I will be breaking them up into different groups because covering it all will take absolutely forever. I just want to remind you all that even if it is not a museum or exhibit, doesn’t mean it can not count as a field trip. Everywhere has history and other aspects to learning you can incorporate. For example, going to the grocery store can involve nutrition and balancing finances/budget. A trip to the park can be P.E. Taking a walk through a neighborhood you can talk about the culture, the history, dynamics, gardens (lower east side has a lot) and much more. Also there are so many opportunities not just in New York City, or within the state. If you can travel, it is a great experience but there are virtual tours as well you can look into as well.

*Just a note I will continue adding to this list as time goes, I wanted to get you all started with ideas.*
