Farm Day with Room 1

It’s a new year and the weather faired perfect for our annual field trip to Underwood Family Farms!

We had an awesome turnout and just a blast this Friday learning about the phases of vegetation, how to pick certain crops, bumping along on the tractor, plucking vegetables straight out of the ground, feeding farm animals (chickens, goats, potbelly pigs) and more.

The kids witnessed The Animal Show! Rats racing, pigs snorting, and cats a-rolling.

God truly blessed our day, and we’re very grateful he allowed everything to go well.

Until next time. Rm 1

A Walk Through A Snowy Day!

The children in Room 2 went on a field trip to the Discovery Cube to check out their Storyland Exhibit that featured A Snowy Day, by Ezra Jack Keats. They enjoyed a story time and activity. The story read was The Mitten, by Jan Brett. They made their own mitten to place their animals in.

The children then got to explore the exhibit.

At the Chicka Chicka Boom Boom Tree the children had to match the upper case letter with the lower case letter.

For The Snowy Day. the snow crunched under their feet. They got to make snowmen and snow angels.

They learned about gardening in a Tale of Peter Rabbit.

Abuela had lots of activities in different languages. When you opened a window children sang a song in a different language. They heard Welcome in different languages and got to play with magnetic pieces on a New York landscape.

One story that was new to the teachers and children was  Tuesday. It is a wordless book about a day in a town when it rains frogs! The children got to tell time on a giant clock tower and had a chance to report the news on a television.

Other stories featured were If you Give A Mouse a Cookie and Where’s Spot?

Fun was had by all and we got to end the trip with a picnic Lunch at Hansen Dam Park.
