Peanuts by Charles Schulz for May 01, 2018

Reminds me of the sixties, when “audiovisual aids” (ie filmstrips, documentaries and recorded TV shows) arrived in the classroom. We saw a lot of films in those days. Now I realise the teachers knew we would sit spellbound in the dark for half an hour or whatever it was, and give them a break.

And then they’ll end up in a supermarket, and mistake the soup cans for works of art, like they did in a certain Peanuts special.

If that was true, that custodian was a genius!

In a few years, Sally will be friends with the building.

I remember that on the longer field trips – the ones where the parents were invited, like the one to the Boston Aquarium – the school always changed to use city buses, because there was NO WAY that our parents would tolerate five minutes in the foul-smelling school buses with windows that didn’t open, no ventilation, iron-hard seats, and the suspension systems that were last replaced about thirty years prior.

Drat! She figured it out…

It’s called “Janitors gone Wild”. They dance with mops don’t they?

Don’t put that paper bag down, Sally, or you may lose your lunch… :)

Girl, what’s wrong with you? A field trip gets you out of school for a good part of the day! I LIVED for field trips! OK, so you have a little issue with morning sickness. Have your mom get you something to offset it.

Apologies if this has been brought up before, but shouldn’t Sally’s hair be colored all blonde/yellow? I know the pink in the front is supposed to be a bow or something, but I can’t recall seeing her hair with that look anywhere other than in these classic daily strips with color added.

In Japanese schools, the students clean up the building. So by Sally’s logic, give the field trip students a break from cleaning.

Doesn’t the custodians get to clean up the bus, too?

Again, i’m up for field trips.

I always liked Field Trips, anything that got me out of class was good. Except for those trips to the Principle’s Office.

I had this problem too! Get a thermos of ice cold lemonade and be near a open window!

We moved from the city to Long Island and all our field trips were to places in NYC. Al l of which I was too multiple times already LOL

In my opinion, I like field trips or excursions
