Happy Monday!

Group A went to the farm today! We ALWAYS have to start with re-buffing our farm rules. For example, we talk gently and calmly to the animals so that we don’t scare them. Also, children always always always have to stay with the group. We went over a few more housekeeping rules before we started our farm trip.

First, we started by getting down to work in the garden. Children picked dandelions and any weeds that they could find so that the garden will be ready for planting! We collected all of the dandelions that we picked and transported them to the compost pile. Miss Charlotte sure did appreciate our help!

 

Afterwards, we went into the barn where we were able to pet ONE DAY old baby lambs! We noticed that the mommy sheep was very protective because she was stomping her feet on the ground.

We went out into the fields to run some energy off. Friends came back to find that many goats were out in the field, one of which was VERY pregnant. We asked Miss Charlotte how long goats are pregnant for. She told us six months! When we go back, we’re almost positive we will see some babies .

It was such a nice day so we took a short walk into the woods to look for wildflowers that were starting to grow. On the way, we stopped at the swing and explored a little.

It was a great first visit to the farm.
