🐄🌾 On April 23rd, our 1st graders had an unforgettable day on their field trip to Deanna Rose Children's Farmstead! 🐐🎣

Students had the opportunity to explore, learn, and have fun through many hands-on experiences throughout the day. They saw a variety of animals, learned interesting facts about farm animals and pets, and even got to feed some of them! 🐑🐓🦙

Some students enjoyed fishing 🎣 and others learned about Native tribes in Kansas and interacted with artifacts to better understand Kansas history and culture. Students also had the chance to “open bank accounts” and learn basic money and banking concepts in a fun and engaging way. 💰🏦 To top it all off, everyone enjoyed a relaxing wagon ride around the farmstead! 🚜

Field trips like these create lasting memories while bringing classroom learning to life. Thank you to our staff, volunteers, and families who helped make this special day possible for our students! ❤️👏

What an incredible opportunity to represent our community and share the importance of early learning and the positive impact it has on students and families! 📚❤️

Congratulations to Ms. Guerrero on this amazing recognition. We are proud to have such wonderful families in our school community! 🌟
