Pumpkin Patch Fun!

We had a wonderful field trip to Parker's Pumpkin Patch in Williston today! We started our day with a slide show of pumpkin pictures and Mrs. Parker taught us all about how pumpkins grow. We then got to observe various pumpkins and squash and described what they looked like and felt like. Mrs. Parker made lots of yummy pumpkin foods for us to try, including pumpkin puree, pumpkin applesauce, roasted pumpkin seeds, pumpkin dip, and pumpkin cookies. Yum yum! At the end of our trip, we got to choose our very own pumpkin to bring home! Please enjoy looking at the photos from our trip.

Fire Safety Day

Last Friday, volunteers from the Hinesburg Fire Department visited H.C.S. to discuss fire safety with the K-2 grades. We heard Mr. Spivack discuss Stop, Drop, and Roll, family safety plans, what to do if there is an emergency and we watched a firefighter get his gear on. We also got to go outside and visit a fire engine and a medical vehicle. We even got to spray a fire hose! Please enjoy these photos of our day!
