Pumpkin Patch Field Trip Unit - Middle & High School
By Three Little Homeschoolers
Get ready for your upcoming visit to the pumpkin patch with this field trip unit! 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.
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 in PreK/Kinder, Elementary, and Middle & High School levels. 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 different units. Check out all of the levels below, as well as a money saving bundle.

SUMMER Counseling Activities Lesson: Managing Anger & Feelings Messages
By All Therapy Resources
This activity is a perfect summer counseling lesson which encourages emotional awareness by encouraging individuals to reflect and gain insight into their various emotional states.
This summer counseling lesson resource encourages students to imagine that they are walking along the beach while they are in a particular emotional state and they come across a “message in a bottle” which is just perfect for what they need and want while they are in that emotional state.
Many people think of being happy and excited as good emotions and anger and sadness as being bad ones. Because of this, many people spend years trying to repress, block or avoid these emotions. But it is important to know that all emotions are normal. Three are no good or bad feelings or emotions. They are messages.
This summer counseling lesson activity includes the following:
- About this summer counseling activity
- Emotions are not good or bad handout
- Imagine This… (narrative)
- The process – What to do
- Examples of Completed bottles (sadness and anxiety)
- Bottle and Note templates for the following states (angry, sad, bored, confused, curious, disappointed, embarrassed, grumpy, excited, happy, anxious, proud, scared and shy)
"If your feelings had something important to say, what would they tell me.”
