Today was the day for our big community adventure! We started the day off at the Community Garden, where Dirk taught us about mason bees and let us explore the garden. We were able to plant sunflowers and carrots, and were able to pick kale and arugula to eat (which most kids did a lot of, to my surprise!). Having the freedom to explore the garden was amazing, and Dirk invited all of the kids to bring their families back whenever they want!
Although I didn't capture any of the next activities with my camera, we had fun exploring the museum and the older buildings that existed in the platzl. In the museum, students used picture cards as a scavenger hunt tool, and had a tour of the museum. We worked on the value of coins earlier this week, and students really enjoyed donating coins to the museum. We visited the location of MacLeod's hardware store, Jones' Superette, Bavarian News Ltd, and Aikman's, and learned a little bit about each place. Ask your child what they remember about each spot!
We then enjoyed a tour of the library and a story! Sage and Kyleigh won the book draw, and most students received a library card to come back and use anytime. Ask your child what they learned about the library filing system and fines for books!
We then had lunch in the platzl. Of course, we HAD to check out the coo coo clock!
Finally, we headed over to the bakery, where we were given baker's hats and put to work with bread dough!
We were given a yummy treat to finish off our day!
We send a big thank you out to Dirk at the community garden, Marie at the museum, Arlene at the library, and Eric at the bakery. What an amazing community this is! Thank you so much for the wonderful parent volunteers too, we could not have done this trip without you!
