Chet Ager Field Trip

Last week we loaded up the bus on our way to Chet Ager! We split up into groups and learned a ton of stuff from our guides about trees, animals, insects, birds, plants, and lots lots more! We had so much fun and had so much to talk about when we got back!

Pictures tell our story much better than words, so enjoy!!

Walking to Ace Hardware!

We got to take a trip to Ace Hardware in our Meadow Lane neighborhood last week to purchase some items for our plant unit! It was raining every chance we got so we took advantage of a quick break in the rain to make our way there! We did a great job walking with our partners, remembering the rules, and following directions while outside of school!

When we got there we looked at some different kinds of seeds and decided which ones we wanted to plant in our pots. We looked at kinds, colors, and also how long they took to sprout to help make our decision!

Then we made our way to the soil! We had a discussion about what we were going to use the soil for and which kind we wanted. We also compared prices and decided on one based on that!

We got to the checkout counter and they added up our items and Ms. Schlegel paid for them!

Luckily, they had just finished getting the garden center up and ready to go! So we got to walk through and see what our flowers were going to look like as well as lots of other flowers and vegetables!

A customer stopped to show us some plants that had different smells and let us all smell some of the leaves she was picking!

As we were leaving, the plant truck driver stopped us and asked us if we wanted some free flowers that were still in his truck! We, of course, said yes and got to add them to our pile of items from the store! We were super excited and thanked him a lot!

We had a ton of fun and used all of our stuff to continue learning about plants. We planted the seeds in our Lorax pot as well as something else that you will get to see soon enough :)
