The Importance of Field Trips in Education

1/19/2022

 
​Most people's fondest grade school memories involve boarding a bus, traveling off to explore someplace new. Field Trips feel like a day off school, a break, a chance to feel like a real human rather than just a kid. Most kids don't realize that field trips are a really an in-depth learning experience than regular day-to-day classroom moments. Studies and statics from all over the country have proven that field trips are more than just a day of fun. 
Social-Emotional Learning Experience

Teaching students social-emotional traits and behaviors is often a complicated matter. Diverse classrooms with students from all different types of backgrounds and living situations make teaching things like self-awareness, relationship skills and responsible decision making extremely difficult in the classroom set up. A study done by the University of Arkansas found that field trips give students “stronger critical-thinking skills” and that they, “exhibit increased historical empathy, display higher levels of tolerance, and have a greater taste for consuming art and culture.”

Picture
Academic Improvement
​

Many students learn best by visual and hands-on learning. The U.S. Travel Association conducted a study that revealed that “regardless of gender, ethnicity or socioeconomic status, youth who take educational trips have better grades (59 percent), higher graduation rates from high school (95%) and college (63%), and greater income (12% higher annually). In fact, 89% said educational trips had a positive, lasting impact on their education and career because the trips made them more engaged, intellectually curious and interested in and out of school.”[1]
[1] https://www.neamb.com/work-life/how-field-trips-boost-students-lifelong-success
Picture
Practical Knowledge
​

Being stuck in a classroom day in and day out for the entire school year is not only a daunting thought, but it can often contribute to students feeling burnt out and detached from the real world. Getting out to see a museum, a farm, or even just the local library can help expand a student’s world and mind. “The best field trips can bring two seemingly unrelated worlds together.”
Picture
​Professional Development
​

If you ask successful adults today about their field trip memories, chances are you will find a few who had an eye-opening field trip experience which helped to lead them to the career they are in today. Getting the chance to see a symphony, going to a construction site or a university can get students thinking about what they are passionate about and what they want to achieve in their adult lives. 
Picture
Field Trips Ideas in Northern Colorado

Colorado has so many beautiful natural places to visit for a field trip. Take students to a Colorado State Wildlife Area to see all the amazing creatures in the state.

With Denver close by, amazing opportunities for students are just a bus ride away. The Denver Museum of Nature and Science provides field trip adventures for all ages!

TIPS FOR MORE FUN AT THE DRIVE-IN MOVIES!

6/6/2020

 
Picture
Summer is here and now, so is the Loveland Drive In Movie Theater!

This pop-up, family-friendly entertainment venue was born out of our (My Big Day’s) response to the Coronavirus. We wanted to build a safe entertainment option for families to take advantage of during our safer-at-home orders, while at the same time, support a deserving non-profit and local businesses that were impacted by all of the coronavirus closures.  The pop-up Drive In fundraiser achieves both of these goals!

We are so excited about this summer opportunity, and we know you are too. We’ve come up with a few ideas to make your family’s trip to our Drive In safe, successful, and fun!
​

First off – planning ahead will ensure that your family has fun. Because we are operating during a time of social distancing, pre-planning and organization MUST include thoughts of safety. Our safety guidelines are spelled out on our website here within our Code of Conduct: https://www.lovelanddrivein.com/code-of-conduct.html  Please make sure you read through this before your show.

Tips for more fun at the Drive-In Movies!
​

Here are a few more tips that we have compiled to help ensure that you and your family are comfortable and have as much fun as possible.

1.      Arrive early to grab the “perfect” spot.
Our team will be helping to direct traffic to their assigned spots. Arriving early will ensure that you won’t be stuck in a long line of cars, and you’ll be placed closer to the big screen. The Loveland Drive In will allow entry 45 minutes before the movie call time.
MBD Pro-Tip: Most Drive-Ins are requiring that you purchase your tickets online in advance. This is our policy, and it helps us restrict capacity to provide for safe social distance between cars.

2.      Consider bringing your own portable radio and extra batteries.
 We are encouraging attendees to turn their cars off during the movie – for environmental and safety reasons. While you can broadcast your sound through your car’s radio, you can avoid the possibility of running down your car’s battery by using a portable radio that runs on batteries.
This will be an ever better alternative if you should choose to set up chairs in your pick-up bed or in front of your vehicle.
 
3.      Bring body essentials.
 Don’t forget to pack the bug spray, sunscreen, and plenty of water. Our experience is different because we can show movies during the day. However, due to the nature of this activity – you will be out, exposed in the sun. Don’t forget to lather up with the sunscreen so you don’t leave with a nasty burn!
 
4.      Satisfy your hunger!
 We encourage you to bring money and have your phone ready so that you can order some tasty treats from our food and beverage vendors on site. Some proceeds from food sales will also be benefiting our non-profit, Thompson Education Foundation.
 
You may also bring food with you. Please make sure that you follow our food/beverage guidelines if you choose to bring your own treats.
 
MBD Pro Tip: Check out our vendor partners listed for each showing. They will have links that you can use to order food online. Review their menus before you arrive so you can plan ahead.
 
5.      Wear appropriate and comfy clothes.
 There will be limited shade, and you will be sitting in a parking lot for the duration of the movie. Make sure you are wearing comfortable, seasonally appropriate clothing.
Also – don’t forget, even summer evenings can get chilly in Colordao! If  you are attending the late show, you might want to pack a jacket or some blankets.
 
6.      Comfortable seating options.
 We know some of you will watch the movies from the comfort of your car, but we also encourage you to pack camping chairs, mats, pillows, and blankets.
 
7.      Have a bathroom plan.
 There will be bathroom facilities available on site. However, we also know that some may not be comfortable using public restrooms at this time. Planning ahead, and trying to go before you arrive can lessen your chances of having to use the public restroom during the event.
We want to assure all participants that the public facilities will be routinely cleaned throughout the day. Packing extra hand sanitizer and wipes aren’t a bad idea either.
 
8.      Relax and have fun!
 We are so excited to bring this fun event to all Northern Colorado families! This event is designed to encourage fun and bonding for families. Relax, enjoy, and have fun at the movies!
