Do you go on field trips with your children?

How many parents take the day off and go on field trips with their children? I always try and go on field trips because you don't know what can happen and if something happens to any child I want to be there for mines and others. I have been on 3 field trips this year and I have been told by the teachers that they really enjoy me going I watched the children and asked good questions, so I have to give myself a pat on the back lol.

I really enjoyed being with the kids on field trips as their laughter and enthusiam was contagious.To see them staring with wide-open eyes at something that is new/spectacular to them was such a rush.Supporting your child as well as the school deserves 2 pats on the back!Kudos to you.

well i just wanted to say there should be more people in this world that take their children any ware. There needs to be more fathers in this world other than just baby daddy's. Have a great time with the children their only young once.

i am chaperoning 2 next week! LOL One id to the local symphony and the other to an old settlers days reenactment. I'm looking forward to both. The school my oldest daughter attends doesn't have many field trips, but I have chaperones every one that she has had since Kindergarten. I really enjoy it. Tonight is the 5th grade "Rec Night" and I will be manning a station at that too. I think it is important to be involved with your kids, plus it gives me a chance to see who she is hanging out with and talk to her teachers.

I always enjoy going on field trips with my children. Not only do you get to help make sure everyone is ok but you get to spend the day with one of your children doing something fun.
