Thank you to all of our gracious parents who were able to brave the cold and come along with us to the farm. We couldn't have gone without your help!
Burrrr! It was a chilly day at the farm but that didn't stop us from having an awesome learning adventure. Once we arrived to the farm, we met Farmer Jim. He told us all about the different types of trees he has on his farm. Farmer Jim showed us how many different animals, from birds to bees and deer to bears, use evergreen trees as a home or shelter. He explained the life cycle of an evergreen tree and how he receives the trees he plants as saplings.

Although we have had so many awesome learning opportunities, I do believe Thursday was the most exciting day in kindergarten so far. We started our day off with a craft rotation. The kids had a chance to visit each kindergarten classroom and make a holiday craft with every teacher. In our room we made stained "glass" evergreen trees. Lots of fine motaor practice with these gems: Craft day was so much fun but it was also exhausting! After lunch, I checked my mailbox and discovered golden tickets to ride the Polar Express (I forgot to take pictures of the tickets!). The departure time read "1:00pm" so we quickly stopped by the bathroom to get to the train on time. When we entered the "train" we used our imaginations to picture ourselves inside of a real train car. Then, all cozy in our pajamas and rest towels, we cuddled up on the rug with hot chocolate in hand for a viewing of "The Polar Express" movie. We also enjoyed some special treats (thank you parents!) during the "ride". It was near the end of the movie when we heard a knock at the door. It was Ms. Kim from the office. She was delivering a package that had JUST arrived from The North Pole!!! It was still COLD! What could it be? Watching the package with curious eyes. What a precious gift to receive!
I love kindergarteners. SPOILER ALERT! Parents: If you have not opened your gift from your child, do not view these precious photos (yet)! Ah! These kiddos are absolutely ADORABLE! We took photos with holiday props to add to our gift we were making for our parents. The gift was Pinterest inspired (of course) but we added our own twist. Thanks to Mrs. Yoder for having each kid pick out their crayons and hot gluing them to the craft. Also, a big thank you to Mrs. Warford for hole punching and tying on the cute ribbons. Without those ladies this project would not have been possible.
