Field Trips!!!

I have confirmed our field trip dates and times and am so excited to take the kids out and around our community.  You as parents are more than welcome to join us as long as you are willing to drive/carpool and meet us there.

Monday Oct. 20th
Fresh Pasture Farms and Stuckmeyer Farms
We will be visiting Fresh Pasture Farms in Millstadt, IL at 10:30 am.  We'll be having a picnic lunch and then heading over to Stuckmeyer Farms in Fenton, MO for an afternoon tour.  Your kids will have an option to buy a pumpkin at Stuckmeyer farms if time allows, but they will need to bring their own money for it.  These two farms are adding to our lesson in Social Studies on rural and urban neighborhoods.  We will compare the two farms and then look at the differences between our city lifestyle and their rural lifestyle.
We need a lot of parents to come on this one since we'll be walking quite a ways through fields. 

Monday Nov. 4th
Daniel Boone Home
3rd Grade does a huge Thanksgiving Project and our introduction to it is our field trip to the Daniel Boone Home.  They do a wonderful program on pioneer living that helps the kids see a glimpse of what the pilgrim lifestyle would have been like.  The Daniel Boone Home is in Defiance, MO and is quite a drive, so we take the whole day to go out there.
I only have 10 chaperone spots for this field trip.  We will take chaperones on a first come first serve basis (5 for each class).  Let me know ASAP if you'd like to come!

Please let me know if you are able to join us on either of these field trips.
