Field Trip!

I got to chaperon my first field trip today! We went to the MIA, some Cathedral in Minneapolis, and Cassetta's pizza. At the MIA, I got this cool ID tag that said I am chaperon, and I felt totally awesome. I had 9 children in my group, all girls, which was terrifying. I have never counted to 9 so many times in my life. I got to guide the tour, give facts on pieces, and question the students. It was great! After that, we went for pizza. While eating, I noticed a student didn't buy lunch, so I asked her and she said she couldn't afford it, so I bough her lunch. Mr. H. says this was a good thing to do and said it was good of me to pick up on those things, as not all students have privileges. Then we visited a Cathedral which was epic, although I do not recall the name.
I had one last item to discuss with Mr. H for the class. We talked about being friends with the students and how facebook could be detrimental. He said that even though we want students to like us, we cannot be friends with them, and must maintain a professional relationship with them. As for facebook, he could not find me, nor could his students (haha), but his daughter found me in about 30 seconds. He was just curious what was on there. Fortunately, my page is clean as can be. We talked about how not being careful can hurt your career, and that they will get access to your page, no matter how private you make it. I have nothing to fear though, as I am always careful on what is on my page. Social life must be responsible, an example to the students.
