Field+trip+expectations+and+reminders

Field trips in general:
 * How to represent our school and make a good impression
 * How to focus, respect, and encourage during field trips: eye contact, nodding head, verbal feedback
 * How to follow directions and disagree respectfully
 * Make a rule about not climbing on anything on the trip: feet on the ground
 * Have partners and make students stay in pairs at all times, in a line, make sure all chaperones are on the same page about this
 * Stairs / elevators (take the stairs for exercise, but don't run)
 * Revolving doors
 * Riding the T: standing vs. sitting (you always sit if there is a seat available); noise level on trains and buses
 * Being aware of your body and the space it takes up so you don't bang into people
 * Walking on the right so other people can go by (demonstrate why this works)

Restaurants:
 * You get to eat in restaurants if you show that you can do a good job on field trips: it is expensive and a special treat so you have to earn it
 * Talk about not taking seconds before your first helping is gone, and about wasting food
 * Bring big bills for paying so we're not counting out ones, or pay ahead of time
 * napkins
 * how to try things that you aren't sure you will like
 * you can't make yourself sick -- how to know when you're getting too full -- 5 minute breaks after each helping
 * drinking tea
 * pleasantries of restaurants
 * noise level
 * No juice -- have water
 * Start trips to the bathroom as soon as we get there so it doesn't take so long
 * You can't start to play, even if you have to wait for awhile
