On Wednesday March 4 2009, the grade ones from Haultain went on a field trip to Home Depot in Mackenzie Towne. When we got there we went on a tour of the store, we saw tools, flowers and seasonal stuff, birds flying around the store, finally we went to the receiving area and talked about recycling, and we saw the box crusher. It was awesome!! After the tour we started building our art easels. We had lots of help from the Home Depot staff and parent volunteers. We used hammers, nails, screws, washers, and wing nuts. When we finished the easels we got to plant a sunflower seed. We sprayed WORM POO fertilizer on it. We all got a certificate, a apron and pin, a carpenter’s pencil and a reusable bag. This was a great field trip and an excellent connection to science and social studies.
My son loved The Home Depot trip!
