Welcome! I am Elizabeth (Libby) Renfro. I have been working at Field Club for over 20 years. I am married, have 2 children and a 1 year old grandson.
This is the second year for the language program at Field Club. I will be working with all the Kindergarten students.
I spend one morning in each classroom working on phonics, literature and language skills.
My current moring schedule is:
Days 1/6 Mrs. Kalina
Days 2/7 Ms. Wassom
Days 3/8 Mrs. Cox
Days 4/9 Ms. Krug
Days 5/10 Mrs. Burke
My afternoon schedules varies daily with either whole group or small pull-out groups on specific academic or language skill activities.
The children will be making "souvenirs" related to literature we are studying. Be sure to talk with your child about the "souvenir" and have them retell the story.
We will also be doing some cooking activities. Be sure to frequently check the website for our latest recipes.We had a wonderful time making pumpkin pie using pie pumpkins. The kids really enjoyed the activity. Even the children who said they didn't like pumpkin pie ate it and wanted more.
Real Pumpkin Pie
Wipe off the outside of the Pie Pumpkin. Remove stem. Place pumpkin on a foil lined cookie sheet. Insert knife into the upper part of the pumpkin in several locations ( at least 3). Be sure that pumpkin is pierced through to the hallow section. This acts as a way to vent steam as it cooks. Bake approximately 1 hour or until knife is inserted easily. Remove from oven and cool.
When cooled, cut pumpkin open and remove seeds. Scoop out pulp. Pulp will be soft and can be mashed if you'd like. Set aside.

- 1 1/2 c. brown sugar
- 2 12oz. cans eveporated milk

Add spices and melted butter or margarine to pumpkin. Add sugar and beaten eggs. Gently mix. Add milk and mix together.
Pour into pie shells. (This amount will make 2 -3 deep pie crust pies). *** Extra filling can be poured into greased custard cups and baked
Bake 400 degrees for 15 mins. and then reduce heat to 350 degrees and continue to ake for 35 mins. Pie is done when knife inserted comes out clean. Cool on racks. Refrigerate when cooled.
