TransitPeople		Open Court

		The list below matches field trip destinations with the popular -- and for Los Angeles Unified schools, popular is putting it mildly -- Open Court Reading© series. Some destinations are an obvious fit, and are listed in boldface. Others may be a bit of a stretch. Please note: • The listing of a destination for kindergarten doesn't mean that your kindergartners will be ready for a trip of this type. If you have concerns, please share them when sending in your request. • Not all destinations can be visited comfortably by all schools. The Whittier Museum, for instance, is an easy trip for Winter Gardens, a comfortable trip for most East L.A. schools, and a looong trek for groups from South L.A. If in doubt, please don't hesitate to ask! • Please see the Transit Destinations pages for more information on destinations listed here. Click here to download this list in PDF format.
