The Bumblebees took a virtual field trip to pumpkin farm! It is unfortunate that we cannot do real field trips at this time but this was the next best thing. Each student wrote/drew a list of discoveries they made at that farm. I complied them here. We might not have visited in person, but we certainly made a number of great discoveries about what you can find at a pumpkin farm.
Bumblebees discoveries:
red wagon
market
white pumpkins
corn maze
tractor
hayride
many pumpkins
purple grapes
that there was only one split in the maze and so it looked pretty easy
half eaten corn
corn
corn field
blueberries
baskets
signs
barn
pumpkins with stripes
pears
apples
corn stalk
grass
wheat

The Bumblebees are learning all about harvest. Currently we are looking at apples, pumpkins and wheat being grown and harvested. Students did an exploration of apples, first whole and then cut and used their 5 senses to examine them scientifically and also wrote a poem about apples and their 5 senses. Here are three of their poems:
Apples feel smooth
Apples look like circles with stems
Apples smell sweet
Apples sound crunchy
Apples taste delicious
Apples feel happy
Apples look like red drops
Apples smell yummy
Apples sound like drums
Apples taste delicious
Apples feel soft
Apples look round at the top and ovaly at the bottom
Apples smell sweet
Apples sound like thump
Apples taste juicy
