🎃🍂 East Elementary TK Visits Fields of Fun! 🍂🎃
Our East Elementary TK students enjoyed a fun-filled trip to Fields of Fun near Sioux Center! During their visit, students attended Pumpkin School and learned about the pumpkin life cycle, different varieties of pumpkins, and all the things pumpkins can be made into.
The fun continued as students explored the corn maze, visited the animals, and picked their very own pumpkin from the pumpkin patch! What a wonderful hands-on learning experience filled with fall fun!
