Episode Show Notes:

Happy Wednesday, everyone! I hope you had a chance to check out Episode #2 where I shared with you the Five Minute Field Trip for Teachers because today, we are going to talk about The Magic of Five-Minute Field Trips for Students - and I guarantee that your students are going to LOVE this!

If you’ve tried the Five Minute Field Trip yourself, I'm sure you can already see and feel the benefits - but when you do something similar with your students, the results can be amazing.

Why would you use Five Minute Field Trips with your students?

They can be used as a simple "decompress and reduce the stress" technique that you can use ANYTIME and ANYWHERE your students need a little break or need to calm their energy.
You don't need the internet or photocopies for this so you don't have to worry about any tech glitches.
It doesn't cost a thing because you don’t actually leave the room – kind of like reading a book - but can be even better because you're harnessing the power of your students' imaginations and stories.
You can use this technique as a reward for your students OR if you simply need to re-focus the energy in your classroom in a positive way.
Five Minute Field Trips can serve as fantastic transitions between classes.
Finally, these can be a springboard for some AMAZING writing projects!

I can't wait to hear about where you and your students went on your Five Minute Field Trips this week - please share your stories in the comments so we can get inspired by each others' ideas :-)

And finally, be sure to subscribe to Beginning Teacher Talk so you never miss an episode. Again, although I call this Beginning Teacher Talk, my goal is to have all of the very best veteran teachers come to you and ask “where did you get THAT idea from?” Just because you’re a beginning teacher, there’s no reason you have to struggle like one.

I hope you have a FABULOUS week.

With love,
Lori
