7/7/2023 0 Comments Virtual field trips preschool![]() If you’re looking for any info on some parenting resources that are working for us… I think it’s a win – it’s another way to get a small group leader in front of parents, it’s also a way for volunteers to feel valued and then it’s a way for a reminder to get out to parents. Everyone always stops for a minute when a video begins to play on their instagram feed. It’s a way to utilize instagram when you have something you want to communicate. We shot a quick video with one of our own small group leaders giving this quick announcement to parents. For instance this past week, we asked our church to participate in a “Feed the Need” project. – We also just started shooting a quick instagram video with a phone to give parents reminders for the week. These videos that we hang off the web and push out in emails and on social media contain the theme and direction of what their preschooler will be learning, the Bible Verse with motions for mom and dad to see and any announcements that we have going on for events, resources or mission projects. We started at first with my ministry assistant and I shooting them and now have moved them to being a way to introduce a small group leader each month. These videos are overview videos of what’s going on for the month in Orchard Preschool. – We shoot videos for 2 months at a time with our storytelling crew at our church. Take this as our introduction of Kelly to you! And then you can read her story, share her ideas and see what they are doing with their parents in the post below. If you go to the Orchard Preschool’s page on the church website, Kelly has this video to greet guests. She graciously agreed and below we are sharing what she said. We asked her if she would be willing to share how and what they do to make their partnering with parents efforts most effective. Kelly and her team does an amazing job of connecting with parents in a variety of creative ways. No name tags, no permission slip, no collecting money, no parent chaperones.Fall has arrived and with it our next “Virtual Field Trip”! And what better place to visit in the fall than an orchard? But this orchard, First Look Friends, is special! We are so excited that Kelly Stockdale, Preschool Director at The Orchard Fellowship in Collierville, Tenn, has invited us all to visit their Orchard Preschool. Virtual Field trips are easy to manage for teachers, camp directors, homeschool parents and scout leaders. Students of all ages can experience traveling to far-off locations-from Antarctica to outer space-through a virtual trip. Especially for elementary school students since their field trips are often limited by distance and time constraints. ![]() Allowing students to explore places that they might not have been able to visit otherwise. The technology allows students to travel the world, both in time and space. They eliminate safety concerns (no permission slips required.) No cost for transportation or for refreshments and meals. Virtual field trips are not limited by distance and are typically more cost-effective than traditional in-person field trips for school, scout, camp and homeschool groups.
