Down on the Farm!

Last Tuesday Room 1 headed out to the Underwood Family Farms for our first field trip of the year! Our road to the farm was prefaced with fun books, games, art, micro-dramatic play, tractors, and science exploration focused on farming.

In the “Kid’s Country Classroom” Farmer Alex took us through a fun and interactive presentation about fruits and vegetables…

We enjoyed lunch in the “Sheep Shed”…

Rode a tractor out to the fields with our friends…

Picked cilantro, lettuce, and celery according to Farmer Jen’s instructions…

Worked with our Mommies and Daddies to pick and bag our veggies!

Watched an alpaca kick, a hen jump (not fly), a giant rabbit communicate with her feet, and a Labrador set his flying friends free at The Animal Show!

As our trip came to an end we fed some animals, explored a compactor, ran through a tire tunnel, boarded a wooden train, and climbed a haystack!

Our field trip was a major success thanks to all of our wonderful parents who drove us, looked after us, played with us, and returned us safely to school!

Our prayer this harvest season is that our little ones are sowing God’s word and bearing good fruit in their lives, homes, and classrooms! “The sower sows the word…these are the ones sown on good ground, those who HEAR the word, ACCEPT it, and BEAR fruit: some thirtyfold, some sixty, and some a hundred.” Mark 4:14,20
