Pre-Covid the school where I work had field trips to a pumpkin patch nearby. During Covid all field trips were cancelled. This is the reason why Pumpkin Day was created! Hundreds of pumpkins are set up in a field and the classes all come out a few at a time. Each child chooses one pumpkin and then the class sits together to share a snack of apples and a cup of apple cider. Our school campus used to be a tree orchard so it is absolutely stunning with the fall foliage at this time of year.
Watching the children carefully picking out a pumpkin and then carry it back to their classroom is the sweetest thing ever.
This is the best day of the school year!
I hope the tradition returned after Covid. Some didn’t.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful thing to do for the children! Nothing like picking your own pumpkin to keep. In all my years of teaching, the children always loved this. Thank you for linking up and have a great weekend.
