On Wednesday afternoons, I volunteer at an after school program in the inner city. Typically, I help 4th, 5th, and 6th graders with their homework, but this afternoon the whole center (K-6) went on a field trip to a local farm market’s Halloween pumpkin patch.
When you enter the teepees (there are three connected ones) you enter a totally dark area lit only with rows and rows of creatively carved jack-o-lanterns. They sit on shelves from the middle of the teepee to the top. No way to get a photo, but it was pretty impressive.
The farm market also gives hay rides through a Halloween-themed route around the property.
The kids all came home with a small pumpkin and had an apple (most were eaten there.) They seemed to have a great time, and hopefully, they’ll get their homework done at home tonight!
what a fun way to spend the afternoon!The kids certainly all have smiles on their faces…
love the sound of all the lanterns inside the tepee and the hayride clearly brought lots of smiles
Pretty impressive indeed. And a great experience which will give them all something to write about in that homework, maybe
What an interesting idea!!!
Kudos to you on the volunteer work! Appears this particular day was a lot of fun!
Oh that looks great fun.
Looks like a good time was had by all!
What a lovely treat for the kids! And for you, to, I’ll bet!
