Today I attended the school field trip as a chaperon. It was my first experience to be a chaperon.
I was assigned three girls in my team. My daughter and two of her friends. I was responsible for them during the field trip. One girl stayed with us all the time, while the other girl was like a butterfly going here and there. She moved swiftly. At one moment she was in the other classmate’s group in front of me, and the next second she moved to the group back of me. In a way, I was impressed how swiftly she could move the location without letting me notice.
I observed the teacher constantly counted the head number of students. I know it is a tough job. It reminded me of the tour I guided in 2006 and 2007. The customers were around 10 people. Even though they were adults, some people were just like the girl in my team. They swiftly moved here and there like a butterfly. I constantly counted the head of the tour customers.
When we got on the school bus on our return to school, I was so exhausted. I wanted to go back home as soon as possible. The other students as well as the teachers were not tired at all. The school bus was full of their laughter and chatting voice all the way back to school.
All in all, I had a great fun with them. The young children are full of fun energy. I don’t think I can do a chaperon every day, though. One day in a great while is enough for me.
Any feedback? (^^♪
