Field Trips: How to Stay Safe
Hi there everyone! I'm sorry I haven't been posting lately, but today I'm going to talk about field trips and how I stay safe on field trips.
Okay, so since I'm in Middle School, I usually go on field trips without my mom. But this year I've only been on one field trip, so I'm not exactly sure what the deal is going to be, but on the previous field trip I went without my mom. But the good part was I didn't have to worry because two of my amazing friends were there with me the whole time to help me.
The Bus:
On field trips, we usually have to get to wherever we are going by bus. On the bus, I make sure there is an adult on board at all times that knows about my food allergies. I also make sure I have my Epi-pen and my phone in case I need to call my parents about a problem. I will make sure to choose a seat that looks clean, and if one of my friends are on the bus, then I have them sit with me. This way, if I have an allergic reaction, then I can tell them and they can get help. The buddy system never gets old. :)
Lunch:
At lunch during a field trip, it's pretty much the same as a regular lunch at school. Things have changed between elementary and middle school, so I don't eat with a tray anymore. I just eat at the same table every day, and the teachers that watch us know that I have food allergies and are aware of my sensitivity to certain foods. So, when I'm on a field trip, I will sit with my friends so they are there if I have an allergic reaction. I will make sure that there is an adult present at all times, and I will carry my Epi-pen and phone. I will also pack wipes in my lunch so I can wipe down the picnic bench or table before I eat there.
During the day, I will make sure I am with a teacher or chaperone that knows about my food allergies. I will carry my purse, and I will be aware during the day, just like any other day.
