If you have a multi-age and there are certain grade-level
field trips, how do you do this?

For example a 4th grade goes to the state capitol and you
teach a 4/5. Does your whole class go to the trip, or does

your class had gone to the state capitol the year before as
a 4th grader? (hope this isn't too confusing!)

Are there times that your whole class goes? Do you ever
feel like the odd man out? Would you be offended if a
grade level asked to take one part of your class and not
the other? (if the other kids had already been to the state
capitol?)

Thanks for your replies!
