Emily and her jack-o-lantern.
Madeleine and her jack-o-lantern.Emily and Madeleine made the promised trip to "Pumpkinville" where they acquired pumpkins that could actually be made into jack-o-lanterns (much to their mother's relief)! We had actually never carved jack-o-lanterns before and the process met with approval.
Last Monday the girls' class went on their first field trip to Bush Neck Farms. The class learned all about apples, got to ride behind a tractor to the orchard and each student got to pick his or her own apple. Overall, a very good day.

The temporary dinosaur exhibit has moved on and there is now an exhibit about sound (not good for adults who don't like noise!). This trip we walked the loop outside and had a great opportunity to spot wolves, turkeys, coyotes, deer, foxes, etc. We also got to pet a screech owl who is a rescue animal for obvious reasons.
