SKATING • LASER TAG

Skating Field Trips ■ Laser Tag Field Trips ■ Private Events ■ Fundraising Roller Skating and Laser Tag are affordable, safe, healthy and fun! Roller Skating and Laser Tag are recognized by the President's Council on Physical Fitness and recommendedby the American Heart Association as aerobic fitness activities. Studies have shown that Roller Skating and Laser Tag provide a complete aerobic workout and involves all of the body's muscles, especially the heart!

Roller Skating burns 384 calories per hour at 9mph; President's Council on Physical Fitness. Laser Tag burns about 200 calories during a 15 minute game.

The Consumer Product Safety Commission found Roller Skating to be twice as safe as playgrounds, and three times safer than basketball or football. In addition, Skating Centers offer a safe, wholesome family activity, in a drug, alcohol and smoke-free fun supervised environment.

What can Roller Skating and Laser Tag do for young children?

■ Roller Skating develops social skills, coordination, balance and fine motor skills!

■ Roller Skating will improve: gross motor movement of legs and arms as kids learn to skate; body awareness through the Hokey Pokey; listening skills and spatial differences through games; and fine motor skills each time kids lace their skates.

■ Laser Tag will improve: balance, agility and dexterity.

■ Laser Tag develops; team work, leadership skills, communication, problem solving, goal setting, conflict resolution, and motivation.

Build self confidence, decrease stress and relieves tension! www.champskate.com ■ www.champsbirthdays.com

parent perspective

Hands-Off Is Out Hands-On Is In laurie evans mu·se·um [myoo-zee-uh m] -- noun: a building or place where works of art, scientific specimens, or other objects of permanent value are kept and displayed. hat do you think of when you think of a museum?

A majestic building with Doric (or is that Ionic) columns, and high ceilinged rooms filled with old paintings, arrowheads or Egyptian relics from the pyramids?

A place where the staff shushes giggling children and reminds people not to touch anything?

That may be the museums we (or our parents) remember from our childhood, but those are not the sorts of museums that our children visit now on school field trips.

Today’s museum is more likely to have a “touch table” than a “do not touch” sign.

And giggling is most heartily encouraged.

Even the names of museums are changing. Just a few years ago kids visited the Lexington Children’s Museum, but it’s now called the Explorium, a name

www.lexingtonfamily.com

that captures the spirit of a building full of hands-on exhibits where children are encouraged to experiment, manipulate and discover.

Museums work hard to bring history to life for students. The National Underground Railroad Freedom Center in Cincinnati gives students a look into what life as a slave was like with a chance to step into an authentic 19th century slave pen.

The Freedom Center also offers handson activities that demonstrate the difficulty slaves faced in trying to escape to the North.

The Explorium of Lexington brings the same hands-on philosophy to kids of all ages, including the tiniest visitors.

The Wonder Woods area is limited to those kids under 3, giving them a safe place to explore the water-play area, try on dress-up clothes and watch wild birds through an observation window.

So what should we call these places formerly known as museums?

The Place-Where-You-Get-ToExperience-Cool-Stuff seems a bit too long to fit on the marquee.

Field Trip Plan:

Art teacher Jeffery Hale takes his students on walking field trips in Lexington.

Walk This Way

W

hen considering field trip destinations, teachers sometimes have to look no further than their own

backyard.

Often a good field trip is only a short walk from the school. Just ask Jeffery Hale, an art teacher at Harrison Elementary.

Hale has been teaching for five years at the oldest elementary in Lexington – Harrison opened in 1849 – in the heart of downtown Lexington.

“Our kids all live downtown, so I want them to stop and realize that we live in a beautiful city, and that art is all around them,” Hale said.

“Taking a field trip in downtown helps promote a sense of community, that this

is their community, and they can recognize the art that is here.”

That was particularly true last fall during the World Equestrian Games.

Hale’s students created their own equine art, which was then displayed at the Explorium of Lexington, just a few blocks away.

At the same time, Harrison students decorated a horse as part of Horsemania that was on display at the Central branch of the Lexington Public Library.

Hale arranged a 90-minute walking field trip where passersby in downtown watched a group of 30 fifth-graders with clipboards and pencils in hand, walking briskly in the fresh air.

(A little exercise mixed in with art is always beneficial.)

The children observed building architecture, gallery store fronts and then

teacher perspective toured art galleries in Victorian Square, home of the Explorium.

After viewing their art and the other pieces on display at the Explorium, the students headed to the Central Library.

On the way, the students observed art in downtown associated with the WEG,

walking field trip in which the children crafted a 3-D model of downtown buildings made of cardboard.

Students toured downtown, with Hale taking photographs of buildings the children wanted to reproduce.

Again, students walked briskly along the

“Taking a field trip in downtown helps promote a sense of community, that this is their community, and they can recognize the art that is here.” including Harrison’s horse in the library.

“We kept the pace up and the students were taking notes, responding to the art they saw as they walked, using the content I had taught in the classroom,” Hale said.

Two years ago, Hale created another

streets in the neighborhood, soaking in the art around them.

After students completed the models, they took their favorites home with them.

“Our kids love downtown. This is their backyard,” Hale said. “We’re always trying to bring the outside in.”

verything about a field trip day is exciting. Getting out of the classroom, being able to sit with your friends on the bus and doing something different were all a part of the fun.

My favorite field trip destination was the Duke Energy Children’s Museum in Cincinnati, my hometown.

A day at this museum always made everyone happy.

Our other field trips were fun, like going to see plays and walking around the zoo, but at this museum, you were encouraged to touch everything.

As a hands-on learner, this was just my style.

This museum is like an endless

F UN

playground to a child. It takes a few hours to get through every activity, and it was always a race between classmates to see who got the farthest into the museum.

Boredom seemed impossible. If one activity didn’t suit your fancy, you could easily move on to another one that did.

One specific area I remember was the one filled with tubes and machines to move around plastic multi-colored balls.

Although this sounds like it was all fun and games, we actually were learning, too.

We learned about the energy it took to move the plastic balls, and simple machines that could do the work.

Here in Lexington, there is a similar kind of museum for children. The Explorium of Lexington gives children a

student view hands-on learning experience with many exhibits and activities for all interests.

I know that if I were a kid in Lexington, this would probably be one of my favorite places.

Field trips to children’s museums are also great for teachers.

All students are able to learn and engage in an activity of their choice.

Rarely were any of the students disappointed, which is quite an accomplishment given the number of kids involved.

And I’m sure our teachers always enjoyed the break of a quiet bus ride back to school.

Fundraising & Teacher Resources It’s a necessary but familiar evil -- the need to raise funds for your school or organization.

Perhaps the school needs new computers, or the Little League needs equipment.

Do you need ideas for a new and exciting fundraiser?

Where do you find prizes for your school carnival? How about raffle tickets for your Fall Festival? Do you need pizzas to sell at your Science Fair?

If your organization finds itself faced with these questions, this is the resource list for you.

This resource list also includes businesses and organizations that offer support and services for teachers.
