What's going on at Rocking Horse???

 

Field Trips

 

All the classrooms have been keeping busy this fall!  The pre-k and transition classes have taken two field trips.  In September the classes went to Lookout Farm in South Natick.  There they took a train ride into the orchards where they picked apples and peaches right off the trees.  They also got the opportunity to see the variety of animals in the petting area and a chance to play in the playground.  In October, the entire school took a trip to Sunshine farm in Natick.  There we took a hay ride into the pumpkin patch where each child chose a pumpkin.  After returning back to the farmstand, the children were each treated to a delicious ice cream.  A perfect way to end our day at the farm.  Mmmmm! 

 

Music & Movement

 

We are happy to welcome back our music and movement teacher, Elaine Kessler.  Elaine has been teaching music classes at local schools and libraries for several years.  We consider ourselves lucky to have her join our team!

 

Nature

 

Jen Searle, from Broadmoor Wildlife Sanctuary, is joining us for a third year.  She will be visiting our school monthly with a hands-on, age appropriate lesson.  Every month she comes prepared to teach us about some of the things we may see in the world of nature!  The children are always excited when they hear it is a "Nature Day!!"

 

Walk to the Library

 

The Pre-k and Transition classrooms have begun taking their trips to the Sherborn Library.  Weather pending, the classrooms walk to the library where the children are given the chance to choose a book to bring back to school.  We never leave the library before gathering together to read a story.  Our trips are a great way to introduce the children to the wonderful world of books.  The primary will begin their trips later in the year.
