On our recent field trip to the grocery store, Barnes Heartland Foods kindly donated some marigolds to the preschool class. We decided to plant them in front of the sign at HHS. Special thanks to Miss Georgia for bringing potting soil and her gardening expertise to help us! #GameOnRailers
Little Railers recently took a field trip to the grocery store to compare a real store with the pretend store in our classroom dramatic play center. We shopped for ingredients to make dirt and worms cups and fruit salads. A big thank you to Chris Barnes and all the store staff for an informational tour! #GameOnRailers
