Pumpkin Patch Field Trip Success!
We had a great time on our first field trip of the year!
We had perfect Fall weather to enjoy a day outside. Students were able to...
- listen to a story about vegetables in the garden
- learn Fun Facts about corn in a corn maze
- enjoy a hay ride, play on a tire playground
- explore a soy bean maze
- watch the goats eat
- enjoy an outdoor picnic!
Students are coming home with their very own mini pumpkin, coloring book, and special Uncle Shuck's patch! It was a very fun day :)
Please check out our homeroom app for more photos of this exciting day!

Home Visit Program
Home visits are a casual way for your child to spend time with his/her teacher in the comfort of their home. Teachers enjoy having a chance to see children in this comfortable environment, doing whatever makes them most happy and spend time with children and their parents outside of a regular school day.
Simply email junal@fultonscienceacademy.org with some suggested dates/times, as well as your students' name(s) and homeroom assignments. Ms. Unal will be in touch to confirm final details.
Please note: the best times to schedule a home visit are weekdays after 5:00pm.
