BEYOND THE CLASSROOM

Beyond the Montessori Classroom: Field Trips Explore The World Around

We strive to explore the world outside the classroom through fireld trips.
During a trip to Underwood Farms, we learned how vegetables and pumpkins are grown.
We saw different sizes and colors of pumpkins, and each child had the opportunity to pick their own pumpkin and a bag of vegetables.

Other Recent Field Trips

We visited a fire station to understand the work of firefighters.
We also spent time exploring the LACMA museum, LaBrea Tar Pits, and the Long Beach Aquarium.
We saw a live performance at the Santa Monica Playhouse.
We went behind-the-scenes and made pizza at the California Pizza Kitchen.
We furthered our understanding of our solar system during an outstanding presentation at the Santa Monica Planetarium.
We focused on Monet’s paintings during a visit to the Getty Center Museum one year.
And when learning about the animal kingdom, we attended the Getty’s special exhibit “Oudry’s Painted Menagerie” by the animal painter Jean-Baptiste Oudry.
