Kindergarten Pumpkin Patch Field Trip

IMG_7792

McKenna got to go on her first field trip today – school bus and all!  We went to a local church’s pumpkin patch and it was a really great experience.  They divided the grade into the separate classes and then we each went to separate stations – math, science, social studies, crafts, hay ride and play time.  The kids got to measure and weigh pumpkins, see the insides and find out if they float or sink, go through straw maze, take a hay ride, make a few crafts and play a few games.  I was a little worried when we first arrived because it didn’t look very big, but they did a wonderful job and the kids learned something as well!
