FIELD TRIP:

We have a fun, fall PUMPKIN DAY planned! On Wednesday, Oct. 26 we will be head to Mrs. Hunderman's house to do some pumpkin experiments. Her husband will be grilling us some hot dogs for lunch, and then we are going to head to Cameron Rynsburger's Grandparent's Farm where we'll get to do some more pumpkin activities. This will be a fun fall day that ties in nicely with our Science Plant Unit. I would like 4 parents to join us if possible.
