Field Trip Trilogy Complete

Rounding out the field trip frenzy that was May, on Wednesday the 16th, Amanda, along with her GCA Kindergarten class and Mom, headed down to Filasky's farm in Middletown.



The morning started off with the kids following the story of "Cabby" the cabbage seed. During the course of the story, Mrs. Filasky, one of the operators of the farm, demonstrated a device that plants the cabbage seeds en masse.

As the morning progressed, the kids toured the greenhouse to see how plants grow, they planted their own basil plants to take home, and got some free time to play in the inflatable train.
