The highlight of our week was our exciting trip to our friend’s family farm for sweet potato harvesting! Before we started digging, the farmer showed us the soybeans we planted during the summer. Unfortunately, we couldn’t harvest them because the deer had eaten them all! But instead of feeling sad, we understood that the deer must have been hungry and needed something to eat. We were actually happy knowing that we could feed them. 🦌💚

After that, it was time for sweet potato harvesting! Each of us was given one sweet potato plant to dig and harvest from. With our hands and little shovels, we carefully dug into the soil, discovering how deep the roots went. It took patience and teamwork, but we enjoyed every bit of it—and wanted to keep going!

It felt like playing a surprise or mystery game. Every time we spotted a root, we couldn’t help but dig more, wondering if another sweet potato was hiding underneath. Some were small, some were big—but each one felt like a treasure we worked hard to find!

This fun field trip was part of our plant unit, where we’ve been learning about the different parts of a plant. We discovered that roots can also bear fruits—just like sweet potatoes! It was a wonderful hands-on experience that helped us see how learning can happen beyond the classroom.

Back at school, we left our harvested sweet potatoes by the entrance of the campus building to dry. We’ll wait over the weekend before taking them home—but we’ll need to wait another two weeks before eating them so we can savor their overloaded sweetness! 🍠😋

We want to give a big thank-you to our friend’s family for welcoming us to their farm and letting us experience this wonderful adventure. Through their kindness, we learned so much more about plants and how they help us—and even how they can help animals too! 🌾✨
