STE. GENEVIEVE — Students in Rose Kreitler’s pre-school class at Ste. Genevieve Elementary School recently visited their on-campus pre-school pumpkin patch to pick their own special pumpkin to bring back to class.
Students taking part in the pumpkin patch event are (front row, from left): Owen Jokerst, Sloane Basler, JoLynn Koetting, Eleanor Ullman, Charley Weber, Joseph Chimento, Maelyn Lurk, Gage Fallert, Jemma Pickard, (back row), Kendall Scoggin, Waylon Kreitler, Holden Basler, Chase Ellett, Mia Jokerst, Leo Horstmann, Paige Clayton, Mason Carron, Judah Kingery and Collin Fallert.
The youngsters learned about pumpkins, exploring different parts of the plants and the different stages of growth.
Once back in the classroom, the students used the vines, pumpkins and seeds for learning activities, such as investigations, building vocabulary, discussions, documentation through drawings, measurements and much more!
