Emerson's field Trip

In October (yes, I'm behind---again!), I got to chaperone Emerson's field trip to a farm on the West side of the island. The children got to learn all about farm animals and got to pet and feed them. They also learned about plants that are native to the island and how to farm plants that we use (fruits and vegetables). The children really enjoyed the whole trip, enjoyed a picnic lunch, followed by a game of duck, duck, goose, and gave the chaperones and teachers a treat---a quiet bus ride home, since most of the kids fell asleep. It was pretty comical to see all the adults trying to keep the kids from bouncing out of their seats and falling on top of one another!
