PreK is not so much about learning facts, it is not even required in our state, it is about learning how to go to school, how to be a student. Cupcake is learning like crazy, picking up letters, counting, writing her own name and even how to observe and analyze science experiments!
This week the PreK classes got to go on their first field trip, it was a lot of fun and a great experience of how future field trips will go and how to behave on those field trips.
We went to a local farm and pumpkin patch, we took our own pumpkins
Momma made these hats a while back, never imagining I would wear one myself. It was fun!
Big girl on the bus. It was a really cold October day after it had rained for days! So we dressed appropriately, tutu and all.
As soon as we arrived the kids just got so excited! And went right to playing, the fact that they were on a field trip was so exciting to start with, then there where things to play on!
Hay ride to the pumpkin patch with her friends.
It did not take long for Cupcake to pick a pumpkin, like she had been thinking about it for a while.
But we found some fun ones too while momma made her look around some more.
In the end she wanted one she could carry and cuddle with. We were told we could have a small pumpkin, the size was labeled as "spooky." The kids thought that was hilarious!
This is one of Cupcake's good friends, he and his mom go to our church and I have been having a great time getting to know them. Cupcake just loves him and they are always so excited to see each other!
Cupcake loves all the little boys in her class. I noticed she ran in a pack where she was the only little girl with a bunch of little boys! They all love her too! What are we in for?
After picking pumpkins it was back to the train for some recess!
After recess it was lunch! Cupcake was so excited to use her lunch box and eat with her friends. She was too excited to eat and she did not really eat much :)
She is getting so big I am crying right now remembering when she was only at the 2 and one day when she is 5 feet I will look back on this picture and wish to have this day back, so I treasure this moment right now and forever when my baby is still little enough to cuddle on my lap in the bus on the way to her first school field trip.
After lunch they all got released into the maze where they all cheated, but got through it excitedly.
Crazy amount of 4 year olds! PreK is only half day so our school has an AM class and PM class, almost 40 kids in all! And the amazing teacher trying to keep them from cheating and crawling over the hay.
All of the preK students!
Cupcake's PreK PM class with the teacher and para educator all worn out and excited from their first field trip! What a great day and wonderful memories made!!
