We arrived at the farm. Wolfe's Neck is an awesome non-profit farm beside the ocean! Our guide, Julianna, memorized our names and then made sure we knew the rules.
We loaded up on the wagon to go to the field to pick our own pumpkins!
Once we got to the field our guide made sure we only took a pumpkin that we could carry ourselves. Good plan!
Time to learn the pumpkin's life cycle by acting it out! We learned some big words, too, like pollination and adaptation!
Finally, it was back to the barn to visit the animals. We saw goats, pigs, and chickens. We got to walk inside the chicken coop and give them some feed.
It was a very cold morning but we loved visiting the farm!
Once back in our classroom, I surprised the kids with hot chocolate!
We are grand parents of Adaiah; Carole & Stan Labacz. We live in Bensalem, PA. We are really enjoying your blog! It looks like your 2nd grade class had a good time on your trip to the farm; what are the children going to do with the pumpkins?
ReplyDeleteI am so pleased you are enjoying this blog! It is exactly my intent for families near and far to be able to see what we are doing in second grade. This year I just let the students take their pumpkins home. On the field trip the guide taught the children about the pumpkin life-cycle so later that week we made a craft to reinforce that learning. I'll take a picture of for you!
