Sparkle In The Rain ~ A Farm Visit

Our little yellow school community recently went on a trip to the farm.  The day was rainy, but that did not dampen our enthusiasm.  We boarded the school bus and away we went!

Our first stop at the farm was a wagon ride.

We passed through corn fields and a forest on our ride.

We were excited to visit with the animals and spend some time with them.

The Cows

We saw a freshly laid egg and pet some rabbits.

 Some of the hens wanted to join our group!

We spent some time in the warm, dry barn classroom learning about pumpkins.

It was so rainy that we were not able to spend time in the garden. Thankfully, the farmers at the farm brought the garden to us! We moved into the toasty warm greenhouse to learn about some of the vegetables that are grown on the farm.  We even got to take some back to school with us.

  

 

We each choose a pumpkin to take home.

Sadly, our time at the farm had come to an end and it was time to board the bus.

We had a fantastic morning at the farm.  Thank you to everyone at the farm for adding sparkle to a wet and rainy day.

Do You Want To Build A Scarecrow?

This week, we took our weekly craft outdoors and made some scarecrows!  We were all so excited!

We began by gathering all the items we would need.

Wooden Stands and Clothing

Pumpkins For The Heads

Vegetables For the Facial Features

Some straw of course!

All of the children took turns using the hammer to create the facial features of our scarecrows.  The children were so skilled with the hammer!

The heads were complete.

It was on to the bodies. The children took turns stuffing the clothing with straw.  The straw was prickly!

We put our scarecrows together.  At last, they were done!

We enjoy being greeted by our jolly scarecrows each school day.
