Fall Field Trips

Hello All,

 

 

Our Halloween Party was a huge success! We want to give a huge thank you to everyone who came together to help put it on this year! How awesome for us to be part of such a giving community! And speaking of community, our new theme for the month of November is Community Helpers. We kicked off the unit with an awesome field trip to Super One Foods and the Great Harvest Bread Company. It was so cool for the kids to check out the behind the scenes functions of both the super market and the bread company, and they got a wonderful hands-on learning experience with real community workers! I was able to snap a couple photos at the grocery store, but not at the bread company (as I was up to my elbows in bread dough and preschoolers :) ).

Our tour guide, Mike, showed the kids where the food in the bakery department comes from! After he fed the kids some fresh-baked cookies, he marked everyone with an "old-fashioned" price tag:

Here is Mike again showing the kids the grocery store stock room. We got to see where they store all the produce, dairy, dry goods, and we even got to check out the awesome floor cleaner:

We have two more field trips coming up: next Wednesday, November 12th, we are taking the city bus to the lakeside Sammy's Pizza where we will get to meet more community workers. Parent volunteers are still needed for this trip, so please sign-up with a teacher if you are able! Also, the Whole Foods Co-op will be visiting our school on Thursday, November 20th to give the students a presentation on locally grown food; it should be a fantastic time!

 

That's all for now....so please don't hesitate to call or email with any questions or concerns!

 

Warmest regards,

Ms. Jakki
