Good Afternoon!
While the small group was at the farm today, our older friends stayed back and helped plant our seeds that have sprouted! After obtaining knowledge about planting, friends headed to the backyard to figure out where to plant our veggies.
Everyone pitched in and were GREAT helpers!
Rosemary, Tate, Anna, Max, and Lucy were so excited to ride in the wee-hicle! They did fantastic. Rosemary was the song leader on the way down to the farm.
We greeted Miss Charlotte once we arrived and discussed proper farm etiquette. Children found out that we have to be quiet around the animals so we don’t frighten them. Anna put her fingers up to her mouth and motioned for “quiet”.
Our first stop was the goat! We LOVED being able to feed the goat. A couple children said, “Ohhh! Tickly!”
After we were done feeding him, we were able to watch Miss Charlotte milk the goat! Once she was finished, we got to see the result!
We were given the opportunity to go into the fenced area where the chickens were. A few children noticed that the feathers were different colors. Our friends were so gentle when given the chance to pet an animal!
We were ECSTATIC about getting to ride the pony. When someone said, “horse”, Lucy corrected them because of course it was a pony!
Max opted not to ride the pony but he was a fabulous observer and asked all of his friends how they liked it! Rosemary got off and said, “I ride again?”
Our group headed to the barn where we saw a bunny and small chicks! Miss Tami showed us how to correctly pet animals at the farm: starting at their head and going down their body.
We also noticed that there were small sheep that were available to interact with! They were quite vociferous! 
We spent the rest of our time at the farm admiring the beautiful nature that was around us. Children headed to the pond where we pointed out different things that we saw.
As we walked, a couple friends asked to pick dandelions which lead to..
Dandelion bouquets!
Breakfast– whole grain oatmeal with banana.
Lunch– homemade french toast casserole, fresh PPC watermelon and cantaloupe, and cauliflower.
PM snack– blue corn chips and refried beans.

We all had a lovely day! Hope you did too!
