One of the perks of being room parent for Matthew's AM Kindergarten class is that I get to go on all the field trips! I seeing him in his school element and enjoy watching him interact with his friends. This field trip was awesome! The kids got to see the ins and outs of a super market while getting to taste their way through the store.
We got to listen to them squeal as they watched the butcher prepare the meat for packaging. We got to see them sample freshly made tortilla chips and freshly cut watermelon. We got to hear them scream as they got to go in the milk refrigerator which was set at a cool minus five degrees. We got to watch them all pick a box which they then got to feed into the huge compressor.
My favorite was when each child got to weigh an apple, scan a water bottle, and complete the transaction! Matthew felt so cool behind the counter. Next, the market supplied a free lunch to the kids which included sandwiches, chips, and fresh fruit. And the best part? It cost the school nothing. Zanotto's of Willow Glen donated the whole experience.
What a fun day, what an awesome field trip!
