For my last trip, our grade went to the Gaston County Museum and Schiele Museum. I really liked going to the Schiele Museum and the Gaston County Museum too. I’ve been to the Gaston County Museum when I was in the 2nd grade and going back and seeing new things in the museum and learning that the “Parlor” room wasn’t really a parlor it was just a room full of furniture they randomly had was interesting and that they plan on restoring it to how it was before. My favorite thing was knowing that back then it was not good to stay on the top floor because if there was a fire then you would be trapped and you would most likely die because the building was made of dry wood and horse hair so if it caught on fire it would burn instantly. If I could spend more time on this field trip I would because I enjoyed going to these museums and learning new stuff and getting to play in the Schiele Museum after we were down with the planetarium. I would really recommend these two museums because they were both a lot of fun and I would love to go back. https://docs.google.com/a/gaston.k12.nc.us/document/d/1E4U91IYAC43Sr7S6IzkUiRtX9x0ep6Yya5LleB-LTh4/edit?usp=drive_web

Our third trip was to Daniel Stowe, downtown Belmont, and Belmont Abbey College. My family grew up in Belmont so I knew a lot about Belmont already on this trip, but there was something I never knew about at the Daniel Stowe Botanical Garden. I learned that they had trails and one trail leads you to a lake that is really pretty and I got to take pretty pictures close up to the sand. My favorite part about the trip was going out to eat then we got to walk around and shop if we wanted to do in a certain amount of time. If I could spend more time on this trip I would because Belmont Abbey College is so pretty and we went on such a nice and cool day to walk around. I would recommend this field trip because I had a really fun time that day and Belmont is older but it is really pretty and full of history. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1E4U91IYAC43Sr7S6IzkUiRtX9x0ep6Yya5LleB-LTh4/edit Our second trip we went to was the county jaila dn the courthouse. As I was there, I learned about the courthouse and the jail was that if you are making a disruption in the courtroom the judge can hold you in jail for a little bit. My favorite thing was going in and seeing the people in jail and how we couldn't talk to them or make eye contact because they were going to try and scare us. I thought was neat was when we were touring we saw a guy in a green looking blanket/robe and it was actually the suicide vest they put on prisoners who attempt to kill themselves. If I could spend more time on this trip I would because I didn’t get to see all of the jail and I wish I could have. I would recommend this trip definitely if you are interested in law and court systems because it was a fun experience and I had a good time being there as well.

I learned that Crowders Mountain had a museum. My favorite part about the trip was hiking and finally getting up the mountain. It really motivated us when people that were coming down was telling us we could do it and how much more we had left. I would have loved to spend more time up there. I wanted to know more about the types of animals that are up in the mountain area.
I would recommend Crowders Mtn. because it was such a beautiful view when you reach the top. I also recommend going on a breezy day, definitely not a day that is really hot because you will sweat a lot more than you can replenish in your body. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1E4U91IYAC43Sr7S6IzkUiRtX9x0ep6Yya5LleB-LTh4/edit |
