Kindergarten Students Visit the Farm

Our field trip started with a ride on a school bus. It was the first time on a bus for many students. Everyone was so excited!

We arrived ready for adventure!
God provided perfect weather for our picnic lunch.
We made some new friends.
It was so nice to actually touch some of the animals we have been learning about!

We solved the case of the missing gingerbread man. It took a while, but we finally found him!
We had to follow clues through the woods.
Aha! Another clue! Red sugar sprinkles from the sneaky cookie! We learned that if we paid close attention, we COULD catch the gingerbread man. He was delicious!
We enjoyed some stories in the cottage. We even think our storyteller may have been Mrs. Wishy-Washy herself!

Everyone had fun singing some silly songs with "Uncle Shelly".
It was a wonderful day packed with fun!

Second Grade Superstars visit the Anne Kolb Nature Center























Second grade has been diligently studying about habitats in science. We wrapped up our unit by taking a field trip to the Anne Kolb Nature Center in Ft. Lauderdale. Our guides gave us tons of interesting information about the different creatures and plants that inhabit the estuary. After our tour inside, we took the stairs to the top of the 68-foot observation tower. This tower provided a spectacular view of the mangrove estuary, West Lake, the Intercoastal Waterway, and the Atlantic Ocean. It was also a great cardio workout to climb all those stairs. We had a wonderful time learning about God's creation at the nature center.

Third Grade Field Trip with Professor Endeavor
















Third grade has been studying the solar system in science and reading. To end our unit we invited Professor Endeavor to come into our classrooms. We had a blast launching rockets, examining asteroids and meteoroids, and discovering how earth rotates on its axis around the moon. Thank you Professor Endeavor for making learning so much fun!
