Sierra Foothill Charter School teacher Chelsea Stillwell and her transitional kindergarten and kindergarten students and Wendy Baumann and her first and second grade students had a wonderful time at Hunter Farms pumpkin patch on Thursday, October 20, 2016. In addition to getting pumpkins, they learned about the plant life cycle, planted corn seeds, visited animals, rode a train through time - seeing dinosaurs and the old west, and younger students rode tricycles and jumped on an enormous bouncy pillow. It was a wonderful, hands-on learning experience.
Tyson Shelby, Eric Brown, Bodi Conklin (left to right facing forward) and fellow classmates learn about the plant life cycle and get hands-on by planting corn seeds.
Trent Davis, Owen Eastwood, Oliviah Collins, Clyde Bell, Annalee Blagg, and Addison Russell check out a tractor at the farm. These kindergarten students and their classmates also had a chance to ride tricycles, climb hay bales, and bounce in a special, extra large bouncy pillow (outdoor bounce house).
Students road on a train through time starting with dinosaurs and ending with depictions of settlers during the gold rush. Here, Tyson Shelby does a good dinasaur impression as Stella DuBois, Westley Sheffield, and in the back, Blake Shaw look on.
