Strategies for follow-through of an IVC Fieldtrip

I expect that as I follow through with IVC trips that I will gain a greater understanding of the techniques that best help the student to retain the information and view the trip as a worthwhile part of education. I think that I can rely on my experience in reviewing a lesson or following up on a previously learned topic. With a kindergarten class and a first grade class I cannot expect a great deal of debriefing on the topic. we can talk about how they felt and maybe do some drawings or coloring pages having to do with the topic but as to follow through I don't know. I do know that I plan on doing what some may see as follow through before the trip. I plan on using the trip as a way to bring together all that they have learned. I am using the trip as a review instead of as a teaching moment. As I said before, after the trip takes place I may have different view on things but for now I have a plan but it can always be modified. That is what a teacher does everyday.
