Pumpkin Patch

We had our first field trip to the pumpkin patch last Thursday. We had a blast!! There were so many things to do! We fed chickens and goats, learned about all types of pumpkins and how they grow, and how to milk a cow. We also learned about vegetables that grow under the ground. We took a hayride to the pumpkin patch where we each got to pick our very own pumpkin. Some of us got big pumpkins, some of us got small ones, some of us got dirty pumpkins, and some of us got clean pumpkins. It was so fun being able to choose the one we liked best. We even got to paint our pumpkins! Our class also built our own first grade scarecrow. We had to work together to make sure he was "stuffed" just right. We played in the hay when we finished. This was a great trip! Check out our pictures to see all the fun things we did!!
