Panda Park & Macau Sites with the Kindergartners

While I'm doing my student teaching I have gotten opportunities to go on field trips with the kindergartners which was so much fun. The first field trip I went on was to the Taipa Panda Park which only opened last year. This was so much fun! The pandas were absolutely adorable. In addition to pandas, there were also Ostriches, Monkeys, and different types of exotic birds. This field trip was during the morning so the kindergartners could come back to school and have time for their lunch and nap before their afternoon lessons.

The second field trip I got to help supervise was a week later with a different kindergarten class. On this field trip, we went into Macau and visited the Ruins of St. Paul's Cathedral. I'm glad I had a chance to visit the Ruins before the field trip so that I already had a chance to read about the history and really explore it. When I went with the kindergartners, we went through the site very quickly just to look at it and take pictures. After going to the cathedral, we went up to the Macau Fort which had a lot of really old cannons and overlooked the city. It was really beautiful. On our way back to school, we stopped by a part of Macau that was near the water and gave the students a chance to use the bathroom before getting back on the bus. I loved being a part of the kindergartners field trip. I think they are so precious! When we got back to school, they were so exhausted from all the walking. We were gone for about an hour and a half which is a long time for three year olds! I have no doubt they all took a really good nap that afternoon.
