Took my students to Publix of all places for a field trip last week. To my surprise it was an excellent real-life field trip for the kids and they loved it! They broke the field trip up into 2 parts. Part 1 a tour and part 2 a shopping experience.
The tour began in the bakery where the students learned how bread/cookies were made and baked. Then onto the produce department where we learned about freshness and watched them core and peel a pineapple with an amazing machine. Next was dairy where we went behind the milk and eggs to see how they were shelved. The meat department was aso fun where they learned about tenderizing/cutting and were asked trivia questions. Winners received Slim Jim's.
Part 2 the shopping experience consisted of 3 groups; cashiers, baggers, and shoppers. The shoppers were given a budget (from donations we collected) to purchase nonperishable food items for needy people for Thanksgiving. The cashiers and baggers were sent in to a room to watch a video and learn how to cashier/bag. Then when shoppers were ready the students rang them out and bagged all the groceries before we sent them off to the church organization.
