Another exciting day at our fall festival. Lots of games, food and fun!

During Mrs. Land's garden class garden today our young gardeners learned about cotton. They felt the seeds in cotton and discussed that our clothes are made from cotton. We also learned all about sweet potatoes and Mrs. Karen Kay Hilton-Sanders read the best book about sweet potato pie! We dug a sweet potato and 🍠 our kids are bringing it home! They are better if they sit a week before you eat them - so next week they will be ready to eat!. Our classes helped Bitsy Land dress the scarecrows to keep the deer away!!🦌🦌
