🏕️ Mrs. Schumacher’s Kindergarten Adventure! 🏕️ Today, our curious kindergarteners took a field trip to Turtle River State Park and had an unforgettable day full of learning! They explored the concept of “Colorful Confusion” — discovering why animals are the colors they are and how it helps them survive in the wild! After an educational hike through the forest trails, the kids enjoyed a picnic by the river and wrapped up the day with some fun at the playground! Fresh air, bright minds, and big smiles — what more could we ask for? Spending time outdoors isn’t just fun—it’s powerful! Outdoor classrooms help children develop: • Stronger focus and creativity • Better physical health and coordination • A deeper connection to the environment • Social and emotional growth through hands-on teamwork Thank you to Turtle River State Park and all the amazing helpers who made this day possible! #KindergartenAdventures #OutdoorLearning #TurtleRiverTrip #MrsSchumacherRocks

Our elementary students have been enjoying the wind and getting creative with their parachutes! ☀️💨
