Yes folks, you read it correctly – we’ve added new Pathways to our already awesome K-5 collection of resources!

Have you ever needed a local field trip idea to compliment your current lesson plans?  Ever wished to find a way to educationally enrich your travel plans?  We’ve created a new set of Travel and Field Trip Pathways do help you with just that!

Travel Pathways are designed to help families plan fun and educational trips. They can be long-distance family vacations or local field trips. Whether you are traveling by airplane, boat, bus, or taking a car adventure, these Pathways will serve as a fabulous personal travel guide!

Travel Pathways highlight an area or attraction, give insider information from someone who has been there, and include links to educational content and resources from which families can learn more about the location. The goal of these Pathways is to offer families an easy way to learn while traveling, without spending a significant amount of advanced planning time.

We’re currently in the BETA phase of these Pathways.  There are great lessons, videos, activities and field trips to help enrich your experience in Massachusetts, Virginia and Washington D.C.  Please take a look and let us know what you think!

If you are interested in creating a Travel Pathway based on our neighborhood or state, we are currently accepting volunteer submissions.  It’s quick and easy, all you need to do is gather in the information and fill out a simple form.  We’ll do the rest!  For more information see the Travel and Field Trips Guided Journey page.
