Pumpkin Patch Field Trip Unit - Bundle All Ages
By Three Little Homeschoolers
Get ready for your upcoming visit to the pumpkin patch with this field trip bundle! This bundle includes the Preschool & Kinder, Elementary, and Middle & High School Units. Includes reading passages and fun activities for before and after the field trip, as well as a trip reflection activity that can be used for any field trip.
All Pumpkin Patch Field Trip Units follow the same outline and the parent/teacher info sheet is the same for all three so that if you have children of several ages, you can seamlessly teach them together. Homeschooling parents and teachers taking multiple grades on the trip can easily combine the three units included in this bundle.
Includes:
Pre-Trip Activities
Post-Trip Activities
The Pumpkin Patch Field Trip Unit is part of my Field Trip Unit Series. The series was created with homeschoolers in mind, but can be adapted to be used in a classroom as well. Field trips are a great way to supplement learning, but often homeschoolers don’t get any background information on the location of their field trip and want to enrich their experience by expanding the learning at home before and after the trip. These units help give information and fun activities before and after the field trip.
These units are available individually in PreK/Kinder, Elementary, and Middle & High School levels. Buying in this bundle saves you 20% off the individual prices
Pumpkin Patch Field Trip Unit - PreK Preschool and Kindergarten
Pumpkin Patch Field Trip Unit - Elementary School
Pumpkin Patch Field Trip Unit - Middle School
**This unit comes in a zip file. Extract the files to access the Parent/Teacher Info Sheet and the Student pdf file**
