Third grade had an amazing field trip to Pioneer Trails Tree Farm!
They learned all about the life cycle of a Christmas tree, from planting to watering it at home. Every student got to make an ornament, sip hot chocolate, and brought home their very own potted Canaan Fir! What a festive way to learn!
Check out the photos from Mrs. Cox's class.
