Skyping with Yellowstone National Park

So for science this week we have been learning about land forms! The kids have blown me away with their interest in this topic...especially the volcanoes! Yesterday we Skyped with Ranger Mike from Yellowstone National Park...

He talked about all the landforms found in Yellowstone and showed us lots of cool pictures!!!! 

The kids loved hearing about the volcanoes under the hot springs! 

They asked some amazing questions...like..."how are hills formed?"

"Does the lava inside the volcano get cold when it is snowing?" "How are rocks formed?" "How hot is the lava?" "Can you swim in the hot springs?" 

Seriously??? I love these kids and their brilliant thinking! Ranger Mike was super awesome at explaining the answers to these questions in kid friendly language! 

Crazy hair day

This week is spirit week at our school! We are raising money and getting ready for our Fundrun next week! The PTO at our school has done a fabulous job organizing events at recess for the kids to play and excercise! Crazy hair day was a huge hit...check out these rockstars! 

This is Lauren...she stopped by for a hairdo too! 

Corn Fusion Fun!

ISo I'm a little behind on our blog :/  but on October 13th we had an awesome field trip to Sykes and Cooper Corn Maze in Elkton! 

Check out these corn cuties!

Here is our awesome field trip director and head honcho Rachel telling the kids all about the activities they get to do on the farm...

Our first stop was the corn pit! 

These little hams are cheesing it up before they get on the slide!

Next stop...CORN MAZE!

This year we read "Jack and the Corn Stalk" as we made our way through the maze! It was a super cute book with a corn twist :)

These kids were "STARVING" so our next stop was lunch at the picnic tables...

Next stop...ANIMALS

This is Miss Piggy...I lover her!!!

Next we got to ride on the tractor around the pumpkin patch...we didn't see very many pumpkins but the weather was gorgeous! 

Are these kids cute or what?!? 

Well...kinda ;)

Our last stop was the corn popper! This is always the kid's favorite part of the farm! 

It's always MY favorite too!
