The second grade visited the Red Barn for our first fieldtrip of the year! We were picked up at the school by wagons and learned all about apples. Each child got to pick an apple from a tree, play in the maze, and enjoy a delicious donut! Yum! Each class also got to pick a pumpkin to keep in their classrooms. It was a beautiful day and everyone had a fabulous time!
2nd Grade kicked off their Olympics with an Opening Ceremony today! Each class created a flag to display and Mr. Barlow participated in the Opening Ceremonies.
