Pumpkin Patch and a Very Special Celebration

Our field trip to Thies Farms was so much fun! The weather held out, and we had a great day. The kids loved the tractor ride around the farm, and they were able to see the different stages of the life cycle of a pumpkin in action. Thank you to all the parents and grandparents who came with us on the trip!

We even found the Billy Goats (Gruff)!


We had a very special celebration at the end of our first reading unit....a whole school parade to celebrate our kindergarten readers! The kids in first, second, third, fourth and even fifth grade lined the halls, along with their teachers, and applauded our kids as they walked through the halls, carrying their Old Favorite storybooks. It was so special! The kids also wore the "gold medals" they received for becoming readers. It was so fun for us to watch how proud and excited the kids were. The big kids at school were also so proud of our kids as well, making signs and posters for them, and asking them to high five them as they walked through the hallway.


Our We Are Readers parade was the same day as our field trip, and as one of the kids put it....it was the best day of their lives! The pumpkin patch, winning a gold medal, and being in a parade does make for a pretty exciting day in kindergarten! 😁
