I haven't started teaching my class yet, but I did discuss this
with my principal. She said that for the "big" field trips,
each grade will go with the appropriate group. She will allow
me to go as well and get a substitute for the remainder of my
class on those 2 days. The rest of the field trips we will
take all together. (Admin. said that the choice was up to us)
I think it is inevitable that sometimes they will need to be
divided for certain experiences. But I think the 2 year
rotation is a good idea as well.
