Although I don't live in a state that requires me to keep annual portfolios, I think it's a good idea to keep informal records of all our heavy work, including field trips. We arm-wrestled our way through an entire year's worth of education, after all.
So, in addition to keeping brochures of each location we visit in our unofficial portfolios, I thought it would be worthwhile to keep some kind of log of all our travels...or better yet, for my children to keep a log.
So here it is...our FIELD TRIP LOG. Do you want a copy for your next adventure? Go ahead and grab it. You know you wanna!

This is great and since I'm getting all of our journaling papers sorted its perfect timing!
ReplyDeleteGreat way to write down quick stuff for writing later. Even the little detail of the "log" at the top works so well!
Printing for use, thanks so much....
More importantly congrats on the new little one!
Thanks! And I'm glad the log will work for you. We hope to journal many adventures together.
DeleteI like your trip log. I get the kids to do a journal entry and try to grab a brochure at the places we go, but they don't always have one. I think I will print of few of these off to add to our trip binder.
ReplyDeleteOoo...a trip binder. You've got me curious? What else is in your binder? How fun. I'm a little addicted to stationary products...especially organized binders.
DeleteThis is wonderful! Thanks so much for generously sharing it! I featured your field trip log as the Free Printable of the Day at the Living Montessori Now Facebook page http://www.facebook.com/LivingMontessoriNow (and on Pinterest)
ReplyDeleteWow! Thanks for letting me know, Deb. You always share such great ideas, so it's fun to be included.
DeleteIt looks like the FREE Field Trip Log is no longer free??
DeleteSo awesome! I have a kindergardener and would love to start tracking our bigger field trip! You are the best!
ReplyDeleteSo glad it will work for you!
DeleteThank you for these. I included them in the vacation books I made for the kids for our trip to the desert of NM. I linked back to here with my blog post. Thank you so much.

DeleteMy kids love this and don't even realize they are writing (the reason I love it.) We use this form for our homeschool history class. They complete one of these each week about a non-fiction book of their choice regarding the subject we are studying!
ReplyDeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteJust wanted you to know that we used your field trip logs for the last school year (2015-2016), and I'm printing more now for this new school year! Thanks for making such a great free printable!
So glad it has been helpful, Stacy! Happy homeschooling.
