How A Pumpkin Grows

Tomorrow we will be going on our very first field trip! We get to visit a Pumpkin Patch. We found a video about how pumpkins grow.

 

We learned...

Big machines had to clean the pumpkins.
People were harvesting pumpkins.
Pumpkin pie looks yummy!
Pumpkins grow from a seed.
You need special machines to turn a pumpkin into a pumpkin  pie.
Bees have to come to the yellow flower to make a pumpkin grow.
Pumpkins have to have a bath just like us.

We wonder...

Will we see a yellow flower tomorrow?
Will we see a big machine harvesting pumpkins?

Our First Field Trip is Coming Soon

It's almost time!  We hope that the weather will cooperate on Friday and our trip to Taylor's Pumpkin Patch will go ahead.  All kindergarten classes will be travelling to the Pumpkin Patch together in the afternoon.  As a result, there will be no morning classes on Friday.  All kinderkids will instead come for the afternoon session. We will meet at the front of the school to board the bus at 12:25 p.m. Just a reminder that the children will only need to bring a reusable shopping bag to hold their pumpkin.  No schoolbags or snack bags will be needed. 

Thank you to all those who sent back their slips for volunteering.  We will be sending home additional details (and a map) later this week.  

We're Going To A Pumpkin Patch!

To coincide with our unit on Pumpkins and Fall, we have decided to visit a pumpkin patch in Foxtrap. Our field trip has been confirmed for the afternoon of Friday October 18th.   Please note that ALL KINDERGARTEN CHILDREN WILL COME TO SCHOOL FOR THE AFTERNOON SESSION ONLY on this day. There will be NO morning classes.  The cost of the field trip is $7.00 per child. This should be returned to school along with the permission slip you received on Friday by Tuesday October 15^th.

As we will be outside for the field trip, we ask that all children come dressed appropriately (warm clothing, mittens, rubber boots, etc.).  Should the weather not be suitable on the 18th, an announcement will be posted on our blog and all children will attend their regular morning or afternoon session.  

Please note that a snack will be provided at the pumpkin patch.  School bags will not be necessary on that day. 

We would love to have a parent volunteers to help with a small group of children.  If you are able to meet us in Foxtrap and volunteer for the afternoon, please indicate on the slip and return at your earliest convenience. 

Our Field Trip To The Fluvarium

We went on a field trip to The Fluvarium. It was fun! We learned a lot.

We saw lots of fish.  They swim under the ice and in the  muddy water.  They swim slowly in winter because they don't want to get too tired or hungry.  They can't catch much food in the winter.  In the spring the fish will swim faster because it is warmer and they will be able to find more food.

We saw frogs.  The frogs were not hibernating because they live inside the Fluvarium. Frogs are slimy and wet.  If the circle behind the eye is bigger than an eye it is a boy.  If it is smaller than the eye it is a girl.  In winter, frogs go in the mud and they sleep.  Frogs hibernate for 7 months.

We saw a snowshoe hare and snowshoe hare footprints.  Showshoe hare stay active in winter.  Showshoe hare are brown but they turn white in winter.  People and other animals can't see them when they are white.  They are camouflaged and will be safe from hunters and other animals.
