Pumpkin Patch!

1 week ago we went to the pumpkin patch. I tried to post pictures last week but due to technical difficulties and time constraints I am now finally posting them! We had some amazing weather and the kids had so much fun!

Walking Field Trip

On Thursday as a culmination to our map unit, we took a walking field trip around our town. We highlighted our route on our maps before leaving so we could follow along as we walked. We stopped by the fire station, library, post office, city hall, our gazebo and the museum. At the fire station the wonderful firefighters had their water hoses out in a fun maze for us to walk through. At the library we heard a story acted out with puppets by the librarian called the Spider and The Fly. At the post office we mailed letters we had written to our friends in the envelopes we had addressed. At city hall we met the city manager, took a tour and received a sweet little goody bag. At the gazebo we enjoyed our sack lunches. At the museum we enjoyed a popsicle treat, walked through several parts of the museum and asked questions. The students were so well behaved and had a wonderful time!

Pumpkin Patch!

It was a beautiful day for us to go to the pumpkin patch. The clouds burned off while we were there making for a warm afternoon visit. The students were SO excited for each part of the field trip. They were excited about baby chicks, other animals, the hayride, picking the perfect pumpkin, seeing carved pumpkins, running around through the "night walk" and the snack Mr. Hentze so kindly gave us. Thank you to the parents who helped me out! I also should say that I was so proud of ALL the students. They had wonderful manners, followed directions well and had smiles on their faces all day! Enjoy these adorable pictures! :)
