Feild trip days are always extra special. Just getting out of our normal routine and doing something different is always exciting. For some of the kids, riding the bus is the best part. Today we went to Salado Christmas Tree Farm. The staff was so nice to us and made us feel very welcome. 107 kids could be very overwhelming but they greeted us with a smile and took care of us. Our first stop was a lesson about the trees and how they grow. We learned that some trees are grown on the farm and others are shipped in. 
The kids got to play in a hay pile. It didn't take long for everyone to just start throwing hay at each other. 
A hay ride was next. We got a tour of the property and saw some very strange things in the woods.
We took our lunch to Pace Park. It wasn't exactly a great day for a picnic but we made the best of it. After they ate, the kids played for a while on the playground and then we went back to school. Tomorrow we will start a Christmas Around the World unit. The kids will rotate to each teacher over the next 2 days and learn about a Christmas tradition from another country.
