Let's face it. Students love field trips. They just can't get enough of them!
Unfortunately, schools don't always have the resources to provide them. But with
this site, you can take your students around the world and back without spending
a cent or oversleeping from jet lag. Virtual Field Trips for every subject and
standard will whisk your class away with a click of a button, via TourMaker
software, which you can download with a free trial and create your own field
trips. You can even print Virtual Permission Slips for parents to sign.

MAKE YOUR OWN FLAG:

In this activity students are not simply recreating another version of the
American flag; instead they are deciding what kind of flag and symbols would
best represent their own interests and reflect who they are. You could also
consider doing this project as a group--what kind of flag would symbolize your
class?
