Hee Haw's Field Trip, October 28th, 2013

We had a great time on our field trip to Hee Haws. The kids loved riding on the bus, seeing the farm animals (including week old baby pigs), going down the slide on potato sacks, going for a hay ride, getting lost in the corn maze and picking their own pumpkin from the pumpkin patch.

Turtle Races

Turtle races are always a great way for the kids to learn how to cheer one another on. Each child made their own turtle and then we raced them by rolling string onto a toilet paper roll. This was a good activity for developing small motor control and learning how to be a good sport. The goal was to cross the finish line and it didn't matter if they were first or last as long as they made it to the end. We will continue to reinforce being slow but sure in our classroom work and making sure we cross the finish line even if we aren't the first one done.
