First Grade Is Off To The Farm!
Fall. A time for apples, changing leaf colors and the first grade's annual field trip to the pumpkin patch! This year, the four first grade classes, with their teachers and a slew of parent chaperones, made their way to historic Legare Farms. Located on Johns Island, this 300 acre farm has been a PCA favorite for years.
Students started off their visit with a lesson about the growth process of pumpkins before getting to pick their own from a small pumpkin patch! After that they were off to learn about, and pet, various farm animals, such as pigs and cows before getting on a hay ride that took them into a field full of cows that they got to feed! To end their trip, students had a picnic lunch and a little playtime before heading back to school! It was a great day of discovering the fascinating details of a working farm!
