Classroom News: Field Trip

We recently went on field trip to a pumpkin patch and apple orchard for the fall season. Thank to all the parents and guardians who took the day to come help chaperone the students. We had such a wonderful time seeing how pumpkins are grown and then having each student choose a pumpkin to take home with him/her. There were so many pumpkins in the field that it was like a sea of orange. There was also the second part of the field trip, which was talking a tour of the apple orchard. We took a hayride out to the middle of the orchard, and we learned about the various types of apples, their colors, and when they are typically in season for best eating. The student loved trying all the different apples and seeing which ones were their favorites, especially because many have never heard of most of the types of apples that can be grown. We all definitely learned a lot while on the field trip, and the students were all very excited to go home and carve their pumpkins with their families.
