The children in Room 5 took a wonderful trip to Hicks Nursery to go pumpkin picking. We all boarded the Merrick Woods bus and went on our way. The first exhibit that we enjoyed was the story of Otto the ghost with all his friends. Otto decided to do something different this year. Instead of keeping all the candy for himself, he decided to share it with those in need. Our next venture was to walk through the store observing all the fall displays. We saw scarecrows, Indian corn, pumpkins and beautiful mums. We even bought some gourds to bring back for our science table. Next was a visit to the animals den. There we saw goats, pigs, lambs, ducks, bunnies and a beautiful peacock. Last but certainly not least, it was pumpkin-picking time. We examined them carefully to be sure they were perfect in every way. Halloween is our favorite time of year!
