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**

MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR.'S "I HAVE A DREAM" [LESSON ACTIVITIES]
By Richard B Williams
This Martin Luther King, Jr. "I HAVE A DREAM" product [Suggested Uses, Posters, Discussion Questions, exams/quizzes, Assignments, and more] provides students a chance to experience what happens when we fight for the betterment of everyone. This SPEECH allows students to read and analyze this canonized work about fighting for one's rights. 11th - 12th Graders will love this short work and product. Check it out!
SUMMARY:
Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. delivered his "I Have a Dream" Speech before a crowd of some 250,000 people at the 1963 March on Washington, remains one of the most famous speeches in history. Weaving in references to the country’s Founding Fathers and the Bible, King used universal themes to depict the struggles of African Americans before closing with an improvised riff on his dreams of equality. The eloquent speech was immediately recognized as a highlight of the successful protest, and has endured as one of the signature moments of the civil rights movement.
This 11th - 12th grade canonized work allows students to understand the need for standing up for equality and what you believe is right.
