May Day

May signals the last full month in most schools. In many public schools across America, teachers finally have the opportunity to take their students out of the schoolhouse to attend the field trips that they have been saving up for for months.

Before the September 11th, I took a group of high school sophomores to ride public transit to the airport where we hung out at the gate as people waited for their loved ones to arrive. Remember that. The students wrote wonderful pieces about loss, waiting, and longing. High school style.

What about you? What are your favorite May field trips? Let me know...
