May, 2015 Page 2 Why Students Go on Field Trips May and June are the busiest time for classes to go on field trips. Field trips are a great way for students to connect their learning to the real world and enriches the curricular themes they are studying. “Enriching field trips contribute to the development of students into civilized young men and women who possess more knowledge about art, have stronger critical-thinking skills, exhibit increased historical empathy, display higher levels of tolerance, and have a greater taste for consuming art and culture,” the researchers wrote in Education Next. This spring classes from École Elsie Mironuck will be visiting Government House, The Saskatchewan Science Centre, Royal Saskatchewan Museum, the Floral Conservatory and participating in Outdoor Education trips arranged by the Regina Public School division office staff. Humane Society Thanks! Physical Fitness & Sports Month May is a great month to start spending more time outside. It’s also National Physical Fitness & Sports Month.
