One of the teachers at Independence, Miss Stephanie, has a small farm with a pumpkin patch right by our school! On Monday, we walked over to the pumpkin patch with our friends from Miss Stephanie's and Miss Erin's classrooms. We have been talking about harvesting and what it takes to grow a pumpkin patch. It was fun to be able to explore an actual pumpkin patch and see where the pumpkins grow. We also got to sit on a John Deer tractor, and even pick a small gourd to bring home with us. Most of the pumpkins we saw were still green. It has not been sunny enough to turn them all orange yet! We had a lot of fun!!
