We had such a wonderful trip to Shelburne Farms last Monday! We started our day at the Dairy Barn and learned all about caring for cows. Check out our pictures of your children milking Starlight, and meeting newborn calves! Ask your children about what happens in the milking parlor. After lunch, we spent time at the Farm Barn and were able to hold chickens, but only if we could catch them! We also got to visit with the horses and goats. We finished up our day watching farmers make cheese - from the milk of the cows we had met that morning. Thank you to all of the volunteers! We had such a great day!
Back at school, your children are all very busy planning and creating their own farms during math and we're reading and writing about farms as well! We have begun practicing for our first grade play, E-I-E-I Oops. Please save the date, June 6th at 6pm! We also enjoyed a performance today by the Vermont Symphony Orchestra!
I hope you are all enjoying your weekend! Happy Mother's Day!
