Horse Lake Kindergarten Students Participate in the Potato Harvest

Horse Lake Kindergarten Teacher, John Foote, took learning outside for his kindergarten students as part of their Science program. Students travelled to the Horse Lake Farm Cooperative and participated in the potato harvest. Building on the Kindergarten Big Ideas that plants have observable features, and that daily and seasonal changes affect all living things, the students learned about the life cycle of the potato plants and enthusiastically dug for potatoes. Farmer Rob Diether showed the students his antique tractor and demonstrated how it is used to harvest the potatoes.
