Columbus Day & Field Trip

Columbus Day and Field Trip

This week is Columbus Day, we made our three ships: The Nina, The Pinta and the Santa Maria.  We sang songs about Columbus.

We read a story about Columbus.  

And we made edible ships.  Cucumber sails and deviled egg boats. 

Our field trip to the Pumpkin Patch on Friday was the best.  We had a snack (pumpkin bread and apple slices), played in the hay maze, read a story called, "I like Pumpkins", talked a little bit about how Pumpkins grow, chose a pumpkin to take home, took lots of pictures with pumpkins,  friends,  and on tractors.  The weather was beautiful and it was simply the best day ever!

Our field trip was so much fun it got me thinking that this year we might try and do a few more field trips that we usually do.  I was thinking every two months we should take a field trip.  So I am looking for some ideas for December and February.  I have an idea for April and May...so share, shout them out, ideas anyone?

Have a great 4 day weekend!  I will see you all tomorrow for the Letter F, the color green and Frog Week.

Yay hoo!
