So I took my class to the archives in East Hall today for their WMU History Excavation Project. I had them meet me in the classroom at noon and we left at about 2 minutes after the hour and walked all the way up there. I had a few students complain, but we made it in about half an hour which gave us plenty of time to explore the archives and find the information they needed. Sharon, the lady who helped us coordinate this field trip, found a bunch of information for the kids before we got there and all they had to do was wait for us to bring it to them. Plus they were able to copy the information they wanted to use so that they could read more later and use some of the awesome pictures they found. It truly was a cool experience and many of my kids got really into it.
The only thing I realized that I should have done was to communicate better with Kate, my teaching partner, and Sharon, the lady at the archives. I had told them we would be there at 12:15 and we didn't arrive until 12:30.
