On our field trip today, we learned about the Meadowlands/ Hackensack River and how the enviormental system works. It costs a lot of money to maintain it and to take the pollution out. We enjoyed saving the other boat with half of our group on it. When planning a field trip, a teacher needs to keep into consideration the cost, transportation, safety, chaperones, educators (people who will be explaining the sites you visit), permission slips, and activities.
