Parents we apologize we will be about 30 minutes late arriving for our kindergarten field trip. We wanted to ensure all students had the safest trip possible!

After studying the 5 senses in depth and the life cycle of pumpkins, Mrs Gunter’s class explored a pumpkin! We talked about the parts of the pumpkin, completed a cut and paste of the life cycle while practicing some of our fine motor skills, used our 5 senses to dig through the pumpkin and finally made groups of pumpkin seeds as we counted to 10! We love being able to explore deeper and make connections in real life!!
